The One AM Radio is the musical project of Hrishikesh Hirway, a composer and songwriter from Los Angeles. The One AM Radio's sound is often characterized by Hrishikesh's lush, soothing vocals over dream-like instrumental arrangements. He does most of his own recording, playing several of the instruments and producing all the beats; the style borders electronica, folk, post rock, and ambient music. Live, he is joined by a changing line-up of accompanists.
Born in Massachusetts, Hrishikesh began The One AM Radio while a student at Yale University, where he studied art and film. Despite their sound, The One AM Radio has often played shows and released records within the DIY hardcore punk scene. Hirway's family is from India, and in 2005, Hrishikesh moved to Mumbai to work on his upcoming album. He returned to Los Angeles in 2006.
Pontiac's autumn 2006 television commercial features The One AM Radio song "What You Gave Away (alias Remix)," from the album On The Shore Of The Wide World.
