Tim Griek (3 August 1944 – 13 February 1988) was a Dutch musician and producer.[2]
Griek played percussion in the Dutch music group The Jokers, in 1967 renamed to Ekseption.[3] 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.
In 1988 Griek drove his car by accident into a river and drowned.[4] André Hazes, who was a good friend of Griek, composed the song "Bedankt mijn vriend" ("Thanks to my friend") as a tribute.
