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

Ellis attended The Evergreen State College in Washington. It was while in school there that he first began working in music, 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 additional EPs and three Albums which are only available by contacting Timo himself.
