About Me

My music in the indie film "First Date":
My name's Mike Hirst... I'm a 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Downingtown, PA. I write, record, and produce all my own music... every single song... I actually do all the instrumentation on each track as well...
I started this whole thing back when I was 12 and decided to do it full-time when I graduated high school in 2005... So far, I have written over 600 songs... most of which have never been released...
In 2007, I toured the country for most of the year, playing nearly 100 concerts in most of the eastern-half of the USA... It was a blast, and there are so many things I will never forget from it... I love playing concerts, so hopefully you'll see me near your town at some point in the future...
My songs are all written by me and come straight from my heart... Whether its God-inspired or love-inspired or life-inspired... its something I'm going through, and its something I'm dealing with, and its something I'm learning...
My only hope is that you might hear the songs and find comfort or strength in them, knowing that you're not alone... Or maybe they'll just make you smile or laugh... Either way, I just want to brighten your day... :-)
Yes, I'm on iTunes on
