Artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Gorden Campbell graces stages around the globe with such world-renowned musical icons as Earth, Wind & Fire, George Duke, Neyo, Mary J. Blige, and among other greats, performed with the beloved late Whitney Houston.

Following years of high-profile tours and recording, Gorden shifted more of his focus to production, increasing his time in the studio. After working with so many great artists, Gorden put on his artist hat, with the album Conversations.

Gorden, whose earliest musical memories center around his grandfathers church in Newburgh, New York, has never known a time when music wasn’t a part of his life. At just five years old, his family says, Gordon began playing drums. He soon gravitated toward keys, then bass guitar followed a few years later.

His first musical influences were mainly gospel artist and musicians. As he got older, he began listening to everything : Jazz, R&B and soul, rock. Artist ranging from George Duke to the Hawkins Family to Earth, Wind & Fire and Toto helped to shape Gorden’s musical palette. His love and deep understanding of all styles of music powers his unique musical vocabulary, which continues to fuel his successful career in the music industry.

And for all his wildly impressive, wide-ranging works, perhaps one of Chip’s most instantly recognizable appearances—still—is his party-rocking playing on the Sugarhill Gang’s enduring, timeless dance floor classic “Rapper’s Delight.”
