Omschrijving

Richard Melville Hall was born in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, to Elizabeth McBride (née Warner), a medical secretary, 
and James Frederick Hall, a chemistry professor who died when Richard was two years old. He was raised by his mother in Darien, Connecticut.

According to Hall, his middle name and the nickname "Moby" were given to him by his parents because of an ancestral relationship 
to Moby Dick author Herman Melville: "The basis for Richard Melville Hall—and for Moby—is that supposedly Herman Melville 
was my great-great-great-grand uncle."

During the 1980s, Hall played guitar for the hardcore punk band Vatican Commandos. Later in the decade, 
he was a guitarist for the alternative rock group Ultra Vivid Scene and appeared in the video for their 1989 single "Mercy Seat".
He has also released music under the names "Voodoo Child" and "Schaumgummi".

Moby's first live solo performance was witnessed by future longtime manager Eric Härle, who later described the occasion to HitQuarters by saying: 
"The music was amazing, but the show was riddled with technical mishaps. It left me very intrigued and impressed in a strange way."

Moby released his first singles for Instinct under several different names, such as Barracuda, Brainstorm, and UHF. 
His first single was a commercial failure-a rap record with vocalist Jimmy Mack, titled Time's Up, 
featuring several remixes and stems for remixing. Very few copies were ever sold.

His first single under the pseudonym 'Moby' was "Mobility", but it was his remix of Mobility's b-side, "Go," that proved to be his first 
breakthrough. Go (Woodtick Mix), a progressive house track using the string line from "Laura Palmer's Theme", from the TV drama Twin Peaks, 
reached the UK top ten in October 1991 and earned him his first appearance on Top of the Pops. He released his eponymous debut in 1992. 
Some of his other singles in 1992 and 1993 were "Next Is the E", "Thousand" (with its 1,000 Beats Per Minute tempo), and "Voodoo Child"....
