Biography: Born Richard Hall in Connecticut, Moby acquired his nickname through being the great, great, grand nephew of Moby Dick author Herman Melville. By the time he was fifteen, he became entranced with punk and taught himself to play guitar before drifting through a succession of bands such as speed metallers The Vatican Commandos and art rockers Ultra Vivid Scene.
In typically perverse fashion, having already
released his debut album 'Everything Is Wrong', Moby
was already growing tired of dance music and his next
creation, the incendiary punk rock 'Animal Rights' album
was to prove the most controversial move of his career,
dividing fans and seeing him tagged as a "dance traitor". |
