Musical legend Moby is giving a live concert on 28 June at Gianpula Fields as part of the first Cream Live event in Malta being held.
American DJ, singer-songwriter and multifaceted musician, Moby has had a diversified career. He began making music at the age of nine, started out playing classical guitar and went on to play with seminal Connecticut hardcore punk group “The Vatican Commandoes” when he was still 13.
He started DJing after leaving college, and was a fixture in the late 80s New York house and hip-hop scenes. After eight top 40 singles in the UK in the 1990s, he released the album Play, in 1999, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. His follow up albums, 18, Hotel, and Last Night sold six million copies and have achieved gold and platinum status in over 30 countries.
His first single, Go in 1991 is listed as one of Rolling Stone’s best records of all time. His own records have sold over 20,000,000 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.
Moby has toured tirelessly, playing well over 3,000 concerts in his career, and has also had his music used in hundreds of different films, including Heat, Any Given Sunday, James Bond - Tomorrow Never Dies and The Beach, among several others.
Moby, aka Richard Melville Hall, is currently working in his New York studio on his next record, and is also working closely with a variety of different charities, including the humane society and the institute for music and neurologic function. Moby also set up www.mobygratis.com in 2004, which gives free music to independent film makers.
