MOBY (US)
Few have had more influence on modern pop music than Moby. The iconic songwriter and producer has been making music since he was nine-years-old. He started out playing classical guitar and then went on to play with seminal Connecticut hardcore punk group The Vatican Commandoes when he was 13. He started DJing after leaving college, and was a fixture in the late 1980’s New York house and hip hop scenes. He released his first single, Go, in 1991(listed as one of Rolling Stones best records of all time), and has been making albums ever since. His own records have sold over twenty million copies worldwide, and he’s also produced and remixed scores of other artists, including David Bowie, Metallica, The Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, among others. His new album, Wait For Me, was released to much acclaim this year.
