where was born Moby?

Answer 1

Moby (born Richard Melville Hall on September 11, 1963, in Harlem, New York, and raised in Darien, Connecticut) is an American songwriter, musician and singer. Moby also serves as the name of his live band.
After some limited success in the 1990s with techno music, his biggest success was his more mainstream album Play, released in 1999, which sold 10 million copies worldwide.[1] He continues to record and release music today.
Moby plays keyboard, guitar, bass guitar and drums. He took his nickname from the novel Moby-Dick, which was written by Herman Melville, his great-great grand uncle.[2] He has also released music under the names Voodoo Child, Barracuda, UHF, The Brotherhood, DJ Cake, Lopez, and Mindstorm. He has received a lot of attention for his political, environmental and religious beliefs.

[edit]Early years
Moby was in a punk band called the Vatican Commandos, which was formed in 1980, but was kicked out[citation needed] after their first release, a 7-inch titled "Hit Squad for God". He claims it was because he realized his music tastes and growth were going in opposite directions of his previous bands.
He was a house disc jockey at The Beat in Port Chester, New York from 1985, and signed a recording contract with Instinct records in 1989. His first success was "Go", a progressive track using the string line from "Laura Palmer's Theme" from the TV drama Twin Peaks. It reached the UK top ten in Autumn 1991 and earned him an appearance on Top of the Pops,[3] and features on his first album, The Story So Far (aka Moby).
In 1993 he toured with The Prodigy, Orbital, and Aphex Twin,[3] and released a B-sides album named Rare: The Collected B-Sides 1989-1993. One song on this album, "Thousand", earned him a world record for the fastest song ever. It reached 1015 BPM.
[edit]1994-1998
His first album for Mute Records was Everything Is Wrong in 1995, which earned early critical praise and minor commercial success. (It was distributed in the USA by Elektra Records.) He followed this up in early 1996 with the double album Everything Is Wrong - Mixed and Remixed.
Later in 1996 he released a hard rock/electronic album called Animal Rights and toured Europe with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unusually for Moby, who usually writes all his own music, occasionally with collaborators, Animal Rights included a cover version, Clint Conley's "That's When I Reach for My Revolver".
In 1997, he released I Like to Score, a collection of his music that had been used in movies. Among those tracks was an updated version of the "James Bond Theme" used for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. However, both Animal Rights and I Like to Score were commercially unsuccessful, and Elektra declined distribution of future Moby releases."
