One of the most progressive figures in techno music, Moby has been instrumental in bringing dance and techno music to mainstream audiences around the world. Raised in Darien, Connecticut, Moby played in a hardcore punk band called the Vatican Commandos as a teenager. During the late '80s and 1990, he released a number of singles and EPs with the independent label, Instinct. In 1991, he crafted the theme of David Lynch's television series, Twin Peaks, creating an insistent, house-derived rhythm, and titling it "Go." The single quickly became a British hit single, climbing into the Top Ten. Following its success, Moby was invited to remix a number of mainstream and underground acts, including Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Brian Eno, Depeche Mode, Erasure, the B-52's, and Orbital.
"Go" became a British Top Ten hit in 1991, establishing him as one of the premier techno producers. Both Moby’s beats and lifestyle have become beacons: Moby is infamous for his devout beliefs, as well as his environmental and vegan activism. He continues to produce record-making music including 1997's I Like to Score and 1999's Play, the latter of which has sold nine million records worldwide.
Moby also created mobygratis, a portion of his website that provides free music for film students and independent and non-profit filmmakers. It is a non-profit venture, with any and all revenue earned by mobygratis.com going to the Humane Society of the United States.
