Short Bio
Leonard Cohen, born Leonard Norman Cohen on September 21, 1934, in Montreal, Canada, was a renaissance man of melancholy. A poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter, Cohen's music and words ventured into the realms of the sacred and the profane, always with a side of wry humor and a deep, gravelly voice that could make reading the phone book sound profound.
Known for songs like "Hallelujah" and "Suzanne," he had the unique ability to dress existential despair in a suit and fedora, making it somehow charming. Cohen’s artistry lay in his capacity to explore the complexities of the human condition, turning love, loss, and longing into a hauntingly beautiful ballad. And yes, he made fedoras cool long before your hipster friend claimed to.
