The Big Picture: Moby

It’s hard not to be aware of Moby. His wildly popular ambient-pop albums and his DJ work which has earned him top billing with EDM fans all over the world has made him a relevant cultural presence for decades. It’s also hard not to know that he’s an avid environmentalist. Moby personifies the idea of using your platform – whatever it may be – to draw attention to issues that need attention drawn to them. And in Moby’s case, it’s most often the environment. 

SHFT has been keeping up with Moby’s efforts to help shape a better world from environmental justice and animal rights to creating urban wildlife habitats. We recently sat down with the artist in his ‘forest’ to learn more about how he uses his worldwide reach to amplify the causes that mean the most to him.
