Marty Sampson

Marty Sampson (born May 31, 1978) is a Christian songwriter and a worship leader at the Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. Originally featuring in the Youth Alive albums of the late 1990s, he was one of original Hillsong United worship leaders. Guitar is his main instrument and he occasionally plays the piano. He was married in November 2006 to Michelle. They now have a son named Phoenix.^[1]

Sampson was a former worship leader for United together with Joel Houston (son of the senior pastor Brian Houston). His last album with United was the 2007 release All of the Above. Since his marriage with Michelle, Sampson has moved from United to the main Hillsong band. Brooke Fraser, who has replaced him as one of the main worship leaders of United, is now leading the team alongside Houston and Jonathon Douglass. He often leads worship at church and has continued his strong contributions for new Hillsong albums. Since his departure from United, he has kept working on his craft of songwriting. He also helps with the worship at Northern Beaches, a Hillsong extension service.

Sampson recently released a solo album entitled "Let Love Rule."^[2]
