"Leonard Cohen’s death had an incredible impact on me as a musician and a writer. Since I was fourteen years old, Cohen has been one of the foremost influences in my life. I’ve heard every Cohen studio album multiple times, and most of his live ones too. I’ve covered very few musicians in my limited time as a performer, but even I’ve covered Cohen three times: “First We Take Manhattan”, “I’m Your Man”, and the truly transcendent “Anthem”."
