Biography
Leonard Norman Cohen, (born September 21, 1934) is a Canadian singer-songwriter,
musician, poet and novelist. Cohen published his first book of poetry in
Montreal in 1956 and his first novel in 1963. His work often deals with the
exploration of religion, isolation, sexuality and complex interpersonal
relationships. Famously reclusive, spending years in a Zen Buddhist monastery,
and possessing a persona frequently associated with mystique, he is extremely
well-regarded by critics for his literary accomplishments and for producing an
output of work of high artistic quality over a five-decade career.
Musically, Cohen's earliest songs (many of which appeared on the 1967 album,
Songs of Leonard Cohen) were rooted in European folk music. In the 1970s, his
material encompassed pop, cabaret and world music. Since the 1980s his high
baritone voice has evolved into lower registers (bass baritone and bass), with
accompaniment from a wide variety of instruments and female backing singers.
