Well known techno artist. His music was included on many soundtrack albums, including: Cool World (1992), Heat (1995), Scream (1996/I), The Saint (1997), The Jackal (1997) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). In 1997, he released an album of his film music called "I Like To Score".

Descendant of Herman Melville, author of "Moby Dick" - that's where his pseudonym comes from.

He is a strict vegan.

Gave the speech inducting Steely Dan into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Every track off his 1999 album "Play" was used either in a television commercial or on a movie soundtrack (including Any Given Sunday (1999)). His music is not generally viable for radio singles, so he felt he needed to get his music heard by the masses, somehow. Doing so has helped "Play" become his most commercially successful album to date.

Releases his album '18', which comes with 18 collectible art cards designed by Moby himself in all amazon.com pre-orders. [May 14, 2002]

Owns a vegan restaurant in New York City called "TeaNY".
