he was born Adam Spiegel in october 1969 in rockville, USA.
Spike was an avid BMX rider in his youth, and this reflected in his early career. he along with two other friends, became the editors of the dirt magazine, he then moved onto directing music videos in 1992, firstly directing the 'high in high school' video for the band 'chainsaw kittens'
Spike moved onto directing major artists' videos, such as beastie boys, notorious b.i.g, puff daddy, r.e.m, daft punk and fatboy slim. These videos were all directed around the late 1990's, obviously a period of time where spike was in high demand due to his skills.
perhaps my favourite spike jonze video is 'otis' by Jay-Z and Kanye West.
