Hrishikesh Hirway’s got his fingerprints all over some wild projects. You might’ve caught his name rolling in the credits for “Dope” (2015), which, let’s be real, is one of those movies that just oozes cool factor—think sharp dialogue, killer soundtrack, the works. Folks who dig deep music dives probably know Hrishikesh best for his podcast magic, but the man’s creative reach stretches way past that. Fast forward to “Companion” (2025)—yeah, that one’s got people whispering and speculating all over the internet. Not a ton of info has leaked yet, but everyone’s buzzing about his involvement, so you just know there’s gonna be something unexpected cooking. And then you’ve got “Hrishikesh Hirway: Between There and Here (feat. Yo-Yo Ma)” (2022). Now, if you’re the sort of person who chills out to cello and likes their music with a side of soul, this one probably hit you right in the feels. Yo-Yo Ma doesn’t just pop up on anyone’s project, you know? That’s a pretty solid sign of serious artistry, and the whole thing just radiates that thoughtful, layered vibe Hirway’s known for. Off the stage and away from the microphones, he’s had Lindsey Lund Mortensen by his side since 2011—yeah, over a decade now, so you know that’s not just Hollywood fluff. The guy moves between film, music, and whatever creative lane he wants, never really getting pinned down. All in all, Hirway’s one of those people quietly shaping pop culture while staying just under the radar—until you realize, hey, he’s everywhere.
