Moby, whose real name is Richard Melville Hall, is best known for his contributions to electronic dance and pop music in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In the space of five years, Moby released eight top 10 hits on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, and 1999’s Play, which included the single ‘Porcelain,’ was certified platinum in more than 20 countries and introduced his music to the mainstream.

Moby is also an outspoken animal rights advocate. He has been vegan since 1987 and vegetarian since 1984, and has supported various animal-focused campaigns, including #TurnYourNoseUp at factory farming on social media. He gave a TEDX talk about being vegan, and in 2019, had the phrase “vegan for life” tattooed on his neck.

“As someone who’s dedicated his entire life to animal rights, it’s a profound pleasure to finally come and speak at Vegan Camp Out,” Moby said. “I’ll be talking a bit about my music career, but mainly about animal rights and veganism. See you all there!”
