Moby

Moby is an animal rights advocate who became a vegan in 1987, back when most people didn't know what that was (a diet and lifestyle with no animal products). He directed the 2023 documentary Punk Rock Vegan Movie, which looks at the connection between punk rock and veganism.

When he couldn't get his songs on the radio, he started licensing them for commercials to get them exposure. His album Play is the first to have every song used in commercials. The ads gave the album a huge boost in sales.

His real name is Richard Melville Hall. His parents nicknamed him Moby and told him he's the great-great-great grandnephew of Herman Melville, who wrote Moby Dick.
