#1 - Moby
Moby has been my idol for four years so far. Moby (actual name Richard Melville Hall; born September 11, 1965 [age 43]) is a music artist who specializes in the electronica genre. He has been active in DJ-ing since the early 1980s, at first playing on the busy streets of New York City. Later on, he became the lead DJ in bands such as Vatican Commandos, AWOL, Voodoo Child, Caeli Seoul, Gin Train and Schaumgummi. A few of his albums were contracted under various names (such as Instinct), but in his later albums (1994+), he was contracted under Mute Records. At age 9, Moby learned guitar and the basics of Music; later on he learned Piano (keyboard), drums (percussional as a whole) and turntabling. Moby's first hit, "Go" earned him in the Top 10 in the UK and outgoing popularity in the U.S.. He has also earned himself Gold and Platinum rankings in 30 countries world-wide, in total.

#2 - Gorillaz
Gorillaz is a animated band created in 1998 by Damon Albarn, with experience in the Music field, and Jamie Hewlett, with experience in animation and drawing. The four characters the represent the band includes 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel (In my opinion, 2D IS BOSS!), with 2D being lead singer, Murdoc being bassist, Noodle being lead guitarist and Russel being drummer (or percussionist). There is no evidence to support any opinions about whether or not the animated characters featured in the music videos are based on actual people or if they are just animated models. A full biography on all of the characters plus current arguments, questions (and maybe some answers), rationality and more is on "The Gorillaz Situation" page.
