About

“Eric Hirshberg makes for one interesting Google search,” says music journalist Chris Dalla Riva. “Search his name and first, you’ll see all of his songs and music videos. Then you’ll see an Eric Hirshberg who was the CEO of video game giant Activision. Then you’ll see an Eric Hirshberg who built the award winning advertising agency, Deutsch LA. Shockingly, all of these Eric Hirshbergs are the same person.”

Eric is a Detroit born, LA-based singer/songwriter who has also had a remarkably successful career as a creative business leader. His lifelong passion for songwriting has culminated in the recent release of his second full-length album, Second Hand Smoke.

Hirshberg’s music has been written about in People Magazine, American Songwriter, Relix and KCRW to name a few, and his songs have been streamed over 3 million times. His latest album, "Second Hand Smoke" was called "a beautiful and quietly soaring album" that is "not only one of the best folk albums of the year but one of the best albums of the year in any genre period" by to Americana Highways. And The Other Side Reviews says, "Second Hand Smoke is, in a word, phenomenal." His 2021 album, Spare Room was called “an airy and infectious collection of songs in the vein of the great LA singer/songwriters” by Rock and Roll Globe.
