Question: Why are you a vegan?

Moby: Well I became a vegan twen – I almost forget how old I am – 23 years ago … 22, 23 years ago.  And for me, it was the simple logic of, well, I love my cat.  And I would want to see my cat suffer.  And I certainly wouldn’t want to eat my cat.  So if I wouldn’t want to make my cat suffer and I wouldn’t want to eat my cat, I guess I shouldn’t make other animals suffer.  And I shouldn’t eat other animals.

Richard Melville Hall, a.k.a. Moby, is one of the most important dance music figures of the early ‘90s, helping bring the music to a mainstream audience both in England and in America.

Born in Harlem, New York in 1965, and raised in Darien, CT, he played in a hardcore punk band called the Vatican Commandos as a teenager before moving to New York City, where he began DJing in dance clubs. During the late ’80s, he released a number of singles and EPs before, in 1991, he set the theme from David Lynch’s television series Twin Peaks to an insistent, house-derived rhythm and titled the result “Go.” The single became a surprise British hit single, climbing into the Top Ten, and was named one of Rolling Stone’s top 200 records of all time. Moby, his first full-length album, appeared in 1992.  Since then, Moby has recorded eleven studio albums, including his multi-platinum breakthrough Play (1999), 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), Go: The Very Best of Moby (2006) and Last Night (2008).

In addition to his musical endeavors, Moby is the proprietor of teany cafe and teas. He is also a well-known advocate for a variety of progressive causes, working with MoveOn.org and PETA, among others. He actively engages in nonpartisan activism.
