Richard Melville Hall (born September 11, 1965), better known by his stage name Moby, is an American DJ, singer-songwriter, and musician.

He is also a longtime vegan and activist.

Multiplatinum musician Moby is known around the world for his unique brand of urban dance music and his experimental, cinematic music videos. A longtime vegan and activist, his most recent project, co-editing an anthology about food politics, allowed him to combine his love of animals with his passion for writing. Gristle: Why You Should Think Twice About Meat, co-edited with animal activist Miyun Park, explores the consequences that eating meat and dairy products have on health, the environment, and the animals. Moby penned the book's introduction, and a diverse collection of public figures contributed short stories. [In this interview he talks] about writing, compassionate living, and factory farming.
