Having started out as a punk rocker in his early youth, and later turning to DJing and rave, Moby became better known to the wider public with the album “Play” (1999), which was highly appreciated by both critics and ordinary listeners and which Rolling Stone magazine ranked in the top 500 of the best albums of all time.
Combining electronic, blues and downtempo music, such pop gems as Honey, Porcelain, Flower, Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?, Natural Blues, Bodyrock were created, which have now become chrestomatic.
By highlighting this album that is a landmark in Moby's career and adding a number of his other hits, including In This World, We Are All Made of Stars, Lift Me Up, In My Heart, Extreme Ways, Go, When It's Cold I'd Like To Die, etc., we get an almost perfect setlist. Exactly what we can expect from Moby and his band. Moreover, now with a slightly more modern arrangement.
A versatile musician, singer, composer, producer, director, writer, photographer, active blogger, ardent animal and human rights activist, formerly a DJ and rave movement activist – all this is Richard Melville Hall, or Moby.
Born in New York in 1965, he started playing classical music (piano, guitar) and studying music theory when he was 9 years old. In the 80s, he became fascinated with punk rock, playing in various bands, then at the next stage turned to DJing, but gradually came to his own original music. The first wider recognition arrived with the single Go in 1991. Since then, 22 Moby studio albums have been released, and their total number of copies has exceeded 20 million. Musically, they vary quite widely from electronic, techno and ambient music, to rock and even punk rock. Usually, Moby records all or most of the album material himself.
A number of Moby's compositions have gained additional recognition thanks to movies, such as the film "The Beach" with Leonardo Di Caprio, the "Bourne" series with Matt Damon or the Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" with Pierce Brosnan. In addition to composing his own music, Moby has produced or remixed recordings by such well-known musicians or bands as David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne, The Bestie Boys, Daft Punk, Public Enemy, etc. A number of Moby's musical pieces have received or been nominated for such prestigious awards as Grammy, Billboard Music Awards, Brit Awards, MTV, NME, etc. Moby is also the author of 4 books, including “Porcelain: A Memoir” (2016) and “Then It Fell Apart” (2019).
At the same time, he remains completely ordinary and unadorned. Instead of limousines, bodyguards and other ostentatious things, Moby was happy to chat with visitors to his New York and Los Angeles cafes, or participate in various animal rights events. He bequeaths a significant part of his income to charity, sometimes even ironically saying: “I’m the only middle-aged idiot to go on tour and lose money.”
