Биография

Mirko Hirsch (born on August 20th, 1977) is a German musician, singer, songwriter and producer. Besides his own songs, he has written and arranged songs for the who is who of the Italo Disco scene: Ken Laszlo, Albert One, Aleph, Jock Hattle, Fred Ventura, Linda Jo Rizzo, Tiziana Rivale, and Trans-X. But he is also active writing and producing for current artists of the New Generation scene such as talove, TQ, Tom Garrow, Steve Burbon, and Retronic Voice. He also uses pseudonyms to release songs with his vocals, when he performs in a slightly different style (Dario Silver, Rick de Moore and others) Mirko's songwriting and producing style is partially influenced by melodic rock music of the 80's and some of his Italo Disco songs (e.g. "Save me" (just for tonight), "Love Hurts", "Midnight Rendezvous") also include electric guitar solos. His songwriting style often reminds people of Farina/Crivellente compositions. Mirko Hirsch belongs to the firsts artists of the "New Generation of Italo Disco (or New Italo Disco)". His first musical appearance was in 2006, when a low quality sample of his song "Fire" caused quite a stir in the scene and was considered to be an original 1980's Italo Disco song. To this day, he is the only artist of the New Generation scene who has had physical releases on all the important New Gen Italo Disco/Eurodisco labels (ZYX, Flashback Records, Iventi Records, Five4IT Records, Magic Sound Records, SpaceSoundRecords).
