Moby

Moby is an American musician and songwriter who started on classical guitar and piano at nine, then played in punk bands during the 1980s before moving into electronic dance music. He settled in New York City in 1989 and became a busy DJ, producer, and remixer. His 1991 track Go brought him a mainstream breakthrough, particularly in Europe, and the 1990s brought a string of Billboard dance chart hits. The album Everything Is Wrong (1995) drew critical praise, with Spin naming it Album of the Year, while Animal Rights (1996) turned off his dance following. Play (1999) became an unexpected worldwide hit and his best-selling record. He followed it with albums such as 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), Last Night (2008), Wait for Me (2009), Destroyed (2011), and Innocents (2013), later adding orchestral reworkings on Reprise (2021) and Resound NYC (2023). He has also made ambient music and film scores, including the song Extreme Ways for the Bourne films.
