AllMusic considers him to be “among the most important dance music figures of the early 1990s, helping bring dance music to a mainstream audience both in the United Kingdom and the United States”.

Moby was raised by his mother, first in San Francisco from 1969 for a short period. He recalled being sexually abused by a staff member at his daycare during this time. This was followed by a move to Darien, Connecticut, living in a squat with “three or four other drug-addicted hippies, with bands playing in the basement.” The two moved to Stratford, Connecticut for a brief time. His mother struggled to support her son, often relying on food stamps and government welfare. They occasionally stayed with Moby’s grandparents in Darien, but the affluence of the suburb made him feel poor and ashamed. Shortly before his mother’s death, Moby learned from her that he has a half brother. His first job was a caddy at a golf course.

His mother was a doctor’s secretary, and his father was an chemistry professor. With his ex-girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, he co-owned and cofounded TeaNY in New York City.

Moby has adopted different faiths throughout his life. He identified himself as an atheist when he was growing up, followed by agnostic, then “a good eight or ten years of being quite a serious Christian”, during which time he taught Bible studies. Around 1985, he read the teachings of Christ, including the New Testament and the Gospels and “was instantly struck by the idea that Christ was somehow divine. When I say I love Christ and love the teachings of Christ, I mean that in the most simple and naïve and subjective way. I’m not saying I’m right, and I certainly wouldn’t criticize anyone else’s beliefs.” In the liner notes of Animal Rights (1996), Moby wrote: “I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a Christian in the conventional sense of the word, where I go to church or believe in cultural Christianity, but I really do love Christ and recognize him in whatever capacity as I can understand it as God. One of my problems with the church and conventional Christianity is it seems like their focus doesn’t have much to do with the teachings of Christ, but rather with their own social agenda”. In 2014, Moby pointed out that if needed to label himself, it would be as a “Taoist–Christian–agnostic quantum mechanic.” In 2019, Moby said that he is not a Christian, “but my life is geared towards God […] I have no idea who or what God might be.”

By mid-1990, Moby had signed a deal as the sole artist of Instinct Records, an independent New York City-based dance label then still in its infancy. The three-man operation saw Moby answer incoming calls and make records in a studio he set up in the owner’s lounge. To appear that Instinct had more artists, Moby’s early singles were put out under several names such as Voodoo Child, Barracuda, Brainstorm, and UHF. The first, “Time’s Up” as The Brotherhood, was co-written by Moby and vocalist Jimmy Mack. This was followed by “Mobility”, his first single released as Moby, in November 1990 which sold an initial 2,000 copies. He then scored a breakthrough hit with a remix of “Go”, originally a B-side to “Mobility” with an added sample of “Laura Palmer’s Theme” by Angelo Badalamenti from the television series Twin Peaks. Released in March 1991, it peaked at No. 10 in the UK in October and earned him national exposure there with an appearance on Top of the Pops. Instinct capitalised on Moby’s success with the late 1991 compilation Instinct Dance featuring tracks by Moby and his pseudonyms. The following year, Moby revealed that “Go” had earned him just $2,000 in royalties.
