Moby Wiki Biography

Richard Melville Hall was born on 11 September 1965, in Harlen, New York City USA – if you want to make a statement with your upcoming big birthday party, you should definitely invite Richard Melville Hall to do the DJ’s part. It will probably cost you more than your car or even your house, but it will be worth every penny. In case you were wondering what we are talking about Richard Melville Hall is better known for his nick name Moby, a nickname associated with the famous Moby Dick, the author of this book was Richards great-great-great- granduncle Herman Melville.

So just how rich is  Moby? Sources estimate that he is one of the highest paid DJs, and has a net worth of over $30 million. Of course being a DJ is not the only talent this man has: he is a photographer, musician, singer, song-writer, actor producer, and restaurateur, a wide range covering more than 20 years in the entertainment industry.

Moby made him self known in the ’90s with his albums Moby and Play, the latter sold  more than 10 million copies world wide. Richard Melville has a great talent, his songs are unique, different and he is one of the most influential people of the ’90s that made electronic dance music popular in both the UK and America.

However, it didn’t go all that well for Moby, even though he did have an interest in music and learned to play classical guitar from the age of ten; the decision to live out of music came after he finished school and studied philosophy at university, from which he did drop out and became a full-time musician. Moby had to work on his music for all most ten years to receive attention, because the first four albums Moby (1992), Ambient (1993), Everything Is Wrong (1995) and Animal Rights (1996) weren’t as successful as he was expecting. After his fifth album success struck him really hard and rewarded him for all the hard work that he’d put in. To add to that, Moby often cooperated with stars like Guns N’Roses, Public Enemy, New Order, Britney Spears, Pet Shop Boys, Daft Punk, David Bowie, The Smashing Pumpkins and even Michael Jackson in co-writing producing or remixing their songs. The latter is perhaps the most significant, as Moby is particularly well known for composing and promoting dance music, as befits his reputation as one of the best DJs in both the UK and the USA.

In recent years he has contributed film scores, including to the “Bourne” series, “Heat” and “Tomorrow Never Dies”.

To add to Moby’s biography, little is known of his private life, except that he is a vegan and a strong supporter of animal rights, and that’s not all, as he has worked with lots of charities and causes such as Children and Aids, Human Rights, The Humane Society, War Sufferers United For Peace and Justice and many more. In 2004 he received an IMNF’s Music Has Power Award for dedication towards music therapy.

Moby Quotes

• I had an epiphany a few years ago where I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends.
• Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn’t exist.
• [on the killing of Osama bin Laden and people celebrating it] Osama bin Laden was, as far as we can tell, a very bad man, and he was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. I still think it’s weird when people celebrate death, you know, so the fact that like politicians and pundits in the States were all celebrating the death of this man, like you can, you can be glad that he’s not around to kill anyone, but the idea of celebrating death always sits strangely with me. (May 2011)
• When I was growing up, I was obsessed with New Order and Joy Division and a lot of that Cold Wave from around 1979 to 1983. I still love that aesthetic, that hybrid of electronics with rock elements … dance music that has a pained, emotional quality.
• It’s really bizarre being hated by so many people I’ve never met. It mystifies my friends more than it mystifies me, because I’m a relatively inoffensive person: I’m not very tall, I’m not very big, I’m not very bright. I don’t know how I manage to annoy people so much. Maybe it’s because I’ve been outspoken on certain issues? I do sometimes think I should go to school to become a shy, retiring, esoteric musician – the Kate Bush and Thom Yorke school of how to be a rock star.
• It’s strange because I really never expected to have a record contract. I thought I’d spend the rest of my life making music in my bedroom that nobody would ever hear. When I released my first record back in the early 90s, I thought I’d be lucky to have a career that lasted a year or two, so the fact that I’ve been making records for nearly 20 years really baffles me.
• I’m not a particularly attractive person – 5ft 8in, stooping, with a receding hairline.
• [on Eminem referencing him in one of his songs] At the time I was really flattered that the most successful artist in the world took the time out to mention me. During his gigs he has a guy dressed up as me come out so he can shoot me dead with a shotgun. It doesn’t bother me, I like to think of it as my entry to the pre-school market.
• I’m not a very good star. I’m small. And I’m bald.
