  • Originally from Harlem, Richard Melville Hall, better known as ‘Moby,’ is a multi-faceted artist renowned for his electronic and dance music career. His journey began in classical music and music theory at a very early age before emerging musically during the '80s punk scene in New York City. Moby eventually made a significant impact on the electronic music scene with his 1991 single "Go" and the critically acclaimed album "Play” - which “Rolling Stone” magazine lists as one of the best albums of all time.  Beyond his successful music career, he's also a prolific producer and remixer for a diverse range of artists.
