Joseph Richard Grah (born March 23, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer. He is best known as a solo emotional alt-rock artist whose music explores themes of isolation, reflection, resilience, and breaking free, and as the frontman of the hard rock trio Inside The Trojan Horse.

Grah first rose to prominence in the 1990s as the lead vocalist and frontman of the Dallas alt-rock band Jibe, which achieved national radio airplay and Billboard chart success with singles such as "Yesterday's Gone" and "Release". He later performed with the Island Def Jam project Loser (alongside guitarist John 5) and the band South of Earth (with Geno Lenardo of Filter).

Since late 2019, Grah has released 17 solo singles under Sixtyfouronthefloor Records, all accompanied by official music videos. His solo music is characterized by raw vocals, heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and atmospheric textures. Notable solo releases include "Far" (2026), "Notice" (2025), "Sweet Decay" (his most-streamed track), "Runaway", and "2nite".

Career

Jibe and early bands

Grah gained early recognition in the 1990s as the lead singer and frontman of the Dallas-based alt-rock band Jibe. The band released four albums: Jibe Live at Trees (1994, 8 songs recorded live at Trees in Dallas), the self-titled Jibe (1996, 11 songs), In My Head (2000, 12 songs), and Uprising (2003, 12 songs). The single "Yesterday's Gone" from Uprising reached #1 on KEGL, KDGE, and KXKX and spent nine weeks in the top 30 on the national rock chart.

He later joined the Island Def Jam project Loser alongside guitarist John 5 and contributed to South of Earth with Geno Lenardo of Filter.

Solo career

In late 2019, Grah began focusing on his solo work, releasing music from his home studio in Florida under Sixtyfouronthefloor Records. He has released 17 solo singles to date, each accompanied by an official music video. His solo material blends emotional alt-rock with heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and atmospheric textures, frequently addressing themes of isolation, reflection, resilience, and breaking free.

Key solo releases include "Far" (2026), "Notice" (2025), "Sweet Decay" (his most-streamed solo track), "Runaway", "2nite", "In a Place Where Nothing Lives", "Atypical", "Stone Face", and "Pure".

Inside The Trojan Horse

Grah currently fronts the hard rock trio Inside The Trojan Horse, with guitarist Charles Lee Salvaggio (Gemini Syndrome) and drummer Pat Gerasia (Red Sun Rising). The band released its material as stand-alone singles with accompanying music videos before compiling them into EPs. The ITTH singles ("Burn", "Savior", "How They Run", "Stay Alive", and "Blood and Teeth") were released in 2025, followed by the Origins EP featuring "Dogs", "Fifteen", and "Children" (with "Dogs" released as a single with a video).
