Hersh grew up in Castaic, CA. His mother is a piano teacher, and he began studying at the age of four. He went on to California State University Northridge (CSUN), where he began composing and earned a bachelor's degree in jazz studies. Hersh explains why he was drawn to composing. "Playing your own music gives you much greater freedom. You aren't working with someone else's concepts. There is no template to draw from. Unless your composition is very derivative, it allows you to express yourself with your own, unique voice."
