(Biased Canadian) I'd say Cohen is entirely Canadian. He has this very self-deprecating humor that you don't really get from Americans.

- hobochili 10y agoI'll concede that Cohen is a Canadian songwriter. It's interesting to me, though, that he launched his music career in New York.
- dmix 10y agoThat's where all the good record labels and record producers were. All good Canadian musicians/actors/directors go to the US. They largely leave Canada behind without much mention of Canada during their careers besides Drake and to a lesser extent Neil Young being the exception. Leonard's first album had amazing production by american producer John Simon (who also worked with The Band, Simon & Garfunkel, Janis Joplin), probably the best in Cohen's entire career, so he chose well deciding to work out of Columbia's studio in NYC... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_Leonard_Cohen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_Leonard_Cohen
- kmonsen 10y agoI'm struggling with the use of the word American here, both you and the parent posters. In my opinion all Canadians are just as much Americans as anyone from the USA. Not sure what else you can call someone from USA, so I guess it makes a bit of sense.
