Baybeats X Ear Up Global – hirsk

Ear Up Global is a project designed to nurture budding music talents from Hong Kong. Initiated by Ear Up Music, this programme offers musicians the opportunity to showcase their original new music on a global stage, all the while building valuable international connections.

Selected participants will be paired with experienced musicians in a mentorship dynamic. These acts will take part in diverse cultural exchange activities with music professionals and institutions in the host city. This includes performing at international music festivals together. Once back in Hong Kong, each act will share their experiences and festival performances with fellow musicians and the public in a dedicated music festival.

Meet hirsk, the Hong Kong-based electronic music producer and alumnus of Berklee College of Music. His genre-defying works meld Hong Kong's timeless classics with abstract influences from electro-acoustic, jazz, club music and musique concrete, creating surreal soundscapes that reflect the city's heartbeat.

hirsk's debut album, noista/gia, not only captivated hearts but also attained Producer of the Year, Instrumental at the 32nd Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan. As a dynamic collaborator, his creative synergy knows no limits—evident in his works with pop icons to multimedia artists such as Yoga Lin, AGA, Sophy and Keith Lam. He has also been invited to perform at prestigious festivals like Berlin's Pop Kultur Arts, Munich's Frameworks, and Shanghai's Strawberry Music Festival.
