Ocean was born in Long Beach, California. Several of these songs, especially collaborations with the production duo Midi Mafia, are still among Ocean's strongest records: "Miss You So," which Conor Maynard later released, and "No Bonnie" rival the intense yearning of his best solo tracks.Īfter Ocean released the Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape in 2011, he made sudden leaps into the superstar sphere – penning tunes for Beyoncé, singing hooks on Jay Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne. When he was around 5 years old, he and his family moved to New Orleans, Louisiana.
He grew up around its local jazz scene and listened to his mother's CDs on her car stereo, including albums by Cline Dion, Anita Baker, and 'The Phantom of the Opera' soundtrack. These days, he seems to write less for other artists, though he made an exception to help James Blake with The Colour in Anything earlier this year.
