Description

Moby's journey to success was far from straightforward. As a young DJ and musician in 1980s New York, he faced numerous challenges due to his unconventional lifestyle - as a devout Christian, vegan, and teetotaler in an industry notorious for its hedonism. Despite being spat on and struggling to make ends meet, Moby persevered. The late 1980s were a pivotal time for dance music, with the scene largely dominated by working-class African Americans and Latinos. Moby's own struggles to fit in only added to his determination. By the end of the decade, he was at a crossroads, both personally and professionally. It was then that he poured his emotions into what would become his breakthrough album, Play. This memoir offers a unique insight into Moby's experiences during this period, from the highs of success to the lows of struggle. With its raw honesty and unflinching self-examination, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of music's most iconic figures.
