Tim Griek (1944, Haarlem – 13 February 1988, Ursem) was a Dutch musician and producer.[1]
Griek played the percussions in the Dutch music group The Jokers, in 1967 renamed to Ekseption.[2] He left the group in 1968 to become a music producer. Some of the artists he represented were Dimitri van Toren, Jan Akkerman, Brainbox, Elly en Rikkert and André Hazes.
