Moby

Moby was one of the most important electronic dance music figures of the '90s. His crossover success helped bring the sound into the mainstream. At the peak of his breakthrough visibility, he courted controversy for putting a public face to the notoriously anonymous electronic genre. He was famous for his devout Christian beliefs, as well as his environmental and vegan activism. He maintained his fanbase with steady, reliable output, swapping between traditional house tracks and expansive ambient collections into the 2020s.

In 1993, he released the double A-sided single 'I Feel It'/'Thousand,' which became a moderate U.K. hit. In 1994, the single 'Hymn' was one of the first fusions of gospel, techno, and ambient music. Play, Moby’s fifth album went double platinum in the U.S. and reached number one in the UK. Play's success was assured when its tracks were licensed by dozens of advertisers and compilers. Moby has released three new albums in the past two years. His first, These Systems Are Failing, is his first with Moby & the Void Pacific Choir. Proceeds from 2020's All Visible Objects will go to charities.
