Artist Biography

There are two artists called "Moby," though the first is undoubtedly responsible for roughly 99.9% of total song plays.

1. Moby (Born Richard Melville Hall) on September 11, 1965 in Darien, Connecticut) is an American electronic musician and is also the name of his live band.

Moby is best known for his singles "Go", "Porcelain", "Natural blues" and "Lift Me Up". He's also released music under the names Voodoo Child, Barracuda, UHF, The Brotherhood, DJ Cake, Lopez, and Brainstorm/Mindstorm.

Moby plays keyboards, guitar and bass guitar, and expresses mild irritation at the assumption that everything on his newer albums are samples. He took his performing name from the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville, who is his great-great-granduncle.

Early years

Moby used to be in a punk band called the Vatican Commandos, which was formed in 1980, but abandoned punk in 1989 for electronic music. He realized his music tastes and growth were going in a different direction than his previous bands.
