Top/ Born in Harlem, New York, electronic artist Moby grew up very poor, as he and his mother were on welfare and food-stamps until he was 18. After eight top 40 singles in the UK in the 1990s he released the album Play, in 1999, which sold 9 million copies worldwide. "We Are All Made Of Stars" is taken from the album 18 (Mute, 2002). In 1997, he released I Like to Score, a collection of his music that had been used in movies. Bottom/ Moby returns with Last Night (Mute, 2008). Besides the many faces of his music, Moby also gathers controversy for his outspoken religious, dietary and animal rights views. Every Moby release from the mid-90's onward has borne the text "Animals are not ours to eat, wear or experiment on. Thanks to Christ." He supports the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
