DJ Spoony is the stage name of Johnathan Joseph (born 25 June 1970, Hackney, London[1][2]) who is a British DJ, and former BBC Radio 1 presenter.
Spoony\'s career started on London Underground (a leading pirate radio station in the mid-nineties). He then joined Kiss 100, where he became a member of the Dreem Teem with Mikee B and Timmi Magic. The Dreem Team then brought UK garage to Radio 1. His popular moniker, Spoony, was coined during his youth, where he was known to give profound analyses of his friends\' characters after a chance encounter with the films of Ingmar Bergman. This caused one friend to say he was \'Like a spoon - reflecting me back all distorted\'. The nickname stuck.
