Cohen started playing music by age 12, and grew serious enough to call himself a musician by age 15 and spent the requisite amount of time slogging it out in classic rock and experimental original acts. His influences were vast and various from Steely Dan to Stevie Wonder to Randy Newman to Sting. And with a consistent plethora of poets and musicians and artists in his life, he decided that music was a worthy outlet for his creative pursuits. Cohen was signed to his father's label, Sony, in 1996, on the strength of his accessible pop melodies as a songwriter, singer, guitarist and keyboard player. A litany of guest musicians also graced the album but not his famous father, Leonard.
