Jay Gruska (; born April 23, 1952) is an American songwriter and composer best known for his film and television scoring, and for writing hit songs for a variety of artists. He has composed musical scores for dozens of TV dramas, with over 500 hours of shows played internationally.
Gruska has received three Emmy Award nominations, one Genie Award nomination, and eleven ASCAP awards. Some of his best-known scores are for the TV shows Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Charmed, and Supernatural.
Gruska started his career as a singer/songwriter. He was briefly a member of Three Dog Night in 1976, replacing Danny Hutton, until the group disbanded. He had recording contracts with ABC Records for his first solo album, and Warner Bros. Records with the band Maxus, for which he was the lead singer and songwriter. Warner Bros. Records later released his second solo album Which One of Us Is Me, which Gruska also produced.
Gruska is also known for co-writing the hit duet "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' (Too Good to Be True)", for Jermaine and Michael Jackson, which was #1 on the Billboard dance charts; the Gloria Loring/Carl Anderson duet "Friends and Lovers", which was #2 on the Billboard Pop Charts and was also released in a country version under the title "Both To Each Other (Friends and Lovers)," performed by Juice Newton and Eddie Rabbitt, which was #1 on the Billboard Country charts; and Amy Grant's "Good for Me", which was #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts.
As a composer on the TV series Supernatural, which aired on The CW, Gruska wrote and produced two songs for the 200th episode, titled "Fan Fiction" (co-writing the lyrics with screenwriter Robbie Thompson). Twenty-four hours after the episode aired, the song "The Road So Far" was #3 on the iTunes soundtrack chart and #57 among all songs on iTunes.
Gruska is married to screenwriter, children's author, and lyricist Denise Halma Gruska. They have one son, Eli Raphael Gruska, a professional dancer at New York City Ballet. Gruska was previously married to Jennifer Williams, the daughter of John Williams and Barbara Ruick as well as the sister of Joseph Williams. Together they had two children, Bobby and Ethan Gruska, the members of the pop music duo The Belle Brigade.
