Gordie Sampson is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 30, 1971 in Big Pond, Canada. Sampson was born on the 21st of July in 1971. He was the son of Francis Xavier Sampson (1946-2007) and Florence Ley. Sampson’s primary musical lessons as a child was lessons in piano by his mom. He recalls being around fiddlers who were popular throughout Cape Breton. In the beginning, he did not have an passion for fiddle music however, he did want to join an a rock’n’roll ensemble. He began to learn to play guitar , and played in school bands throughout the junior and senior high schools. He played songs from bands like AC/DC as well as Black Sabbath.
After Realworld was disbanded, Sampson found himself increasingly attracted to the tradition of Celtic music that Cape Breton is well known. Participating in local music groups led him to a spot in Ashley MacIsaac’s group exactly as MacIsaac was looking for a fusion that melded traditional Celtic music and modern rock’n’roll. Sampson co-wrote two tracks on MacIsaac’s debut album in 1996, Hi(tm) How Are You Today?.
Sampson recorded his first solo album in 1998, entitled Stones, which was recorded at Lakewind Sound Studios in Point Aconi, Nova Scotia—a recording studio Sampson and partner Fred Lavery built together in 1996. The album was nominated for a Juno Award; the single, “Sorry,” won three East Coast Music Awards.
Sampson has been quoted as saying that the success of “Jesus, Take the Wheel” “worked wonders for my music career.” He has since written songs which have been recorded by Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Trace Adkins, LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, Willie Nelson,and many other well-known country performers. He wrote the song “Any Other Day” for the 2007 Bon Jovi album Lost Highway. He has produced albums for Natalie McMaster and Damhnait Doyle.
In the latter part of 1990, Sampson also began to focus more on songwriting and the goal was having other musicians record his songs. In time, he started to realize how difficult it would be for him from the perspective of his Cape Breton hometown. He made the move with his wife and child to Nashville even though he knew the basics of country music at the time.
