Timo Ellis

Timothy K. "Timo" Ellis is a multi-instrumentalist and record producer from New York City, currently in the bands The Netherlands and Joan as Police Woman. He also runs a commercial music company called "70% Water Music" as well as his personal label "Records and Tapes Records"

Ellis attended Evergreen State College in Washington. It was while in school there that he first began working with local bands such as "Nubbin", "Lemonade", "Hotess", "Freebird", and "Dig Yer Grave". He returned to New York in 1994, where he joined with Sam Koppelman and Sean Lennon to record as IMA. IMA backed Lennon's mother, Yoko Ono, on her album Rising.

In 1997 Timo and Sean Lennon joined Cibo Matto (both playing bass, guitar and drums). As a foursome (Yuka Honda, Miho Hatori, Timo Ellis, Sean Lennon) Cibo Matto released an EP, Super Relax (1997) and their final album Stereo Type A (1999). He continued to tour with Cibo Matto until they disbanded in 2001. Later in the year Timo released his first solo EP, The Enchanted Forest of Timo Ellis. Timo has since self-released several additional EPs and LPs which are available on ITunes (or by contacting Timo himself.) He currently performs regularly in his band The Netherlands and Joan as Police Woman. He's also recently been a regular player in Miho Hatori's New Optimism and Sean Lennon's and Charlotte Kemp Muhl's band The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger. His music can be previewed from his MySpace page and Official Website. He lives in Brooklyn.
