Sampson was born on 31 May 1979 and became a member of Hillsong Church in Sydney. From the late 1990s he was featured on the Youth Alive albums and was one of the original Hillsong United band's worship leaders. His last album with Hillsong United was 2011's Aftermath. He often led worship at the church and performed on Hillsong albums. Since his departure from Hillsong United, he has focused on songwriting. Sampson helped with the worship at Northern Beaches, a Hillsong extension church. In November 2006 he and Michelle married; they have a son.

In 2007, Sampson released a solo EP, Let Love Rule, via his official website. In April 2008, he co-wrote "We Give You Praise" with Delirious?, a Christian band from England. In 2010, he recorded an album in the United States under the band name, The Red Bikes. It was recorded with James Rudder as producer, Luke Munns on drums, Michael Guy Chislett on guitar, and Paul Malbury on bass guitar. The album has not[when?] been released.[citation needed] In June 2011, Sampson released another solo EP, Objects, as Martin Sampson. It is an acoustic guitar folk album in the vein of Bob Dylan. The tracks were recorded at the same time as The Red Bikes project.
