Counting Blessings, Creating Impact: Jordan Sapp ’08
Driven by a deep sense of purpose, Jordan Sapp has seen his influence in the contemporary Christian music industry flourish as he crafts songs that resonate with listeners across the globe. From radio airwaves to Apple Music and Spotify playlists, there’s a good chance his music has already found its way into your listening rotation.
Sapp continues to add to an impressive portfolio of hit music, including the production of number one singles for new artists like Megan Woods (“The Truth”), Jamie McDonald’s (“Desperate”), and notably, Seph Schlueter’s (“Counting My Blessings”) which went on to be a radio number one, RIAA Gold, and one of the top trending songs on social media, and that’s just to name a few!
“I’m truly humbled to be used by God to provide songs that meet people in different seasons of need,” said Sapp. “I’m deeply passionate about the purpose behind the music I create, always asking during the production process how each song can continue to reach and help others. It’s an area where I see God continually shaping and growing me throughout my career.”
Recently, that sense of calling has opened new doors for Sapp in leadership roles within the music industry.
“One of the more memorable challenges I have taken on recently was the role of executive producer for Jeremy Camp’s latest album, ‘Deeper Waters,’” Sapp said. “Not only has this experience allowed me to ‘take the reins’ with co-writing and producing many of the songs, but having the opportunity to connect with Jeremy on a broader level, thinking holistically about the album overall. I feel like it played a huge role in the project’s success, charting three top five singles, with one of my favorite songs to work on, ‘No Survivors’ currently number two on radio.”
Outside of his growing career, Sapp and his family are putting down deeper roots in Franklin, Tennessee. Alongside his work in music production, the family is currently in the process of building a new home.
“Our big family goal right now is to get our house built by the end of the year,” said Sapp. “My wife and I bought some land about two years ago and are being intentional about making this project come to life. We have three girls, ages 13, 11, and five, and a nine year old son, so creating a space all of us can call home is important. Although a little daunting, I’m excited to get to work.”
As he looks ahead to 2026, Sapp’s work continues to be recognized across the industry. His nominations include a 2020 Grammy Award for Tauren Wells’ “Famous For,” recognized for Best Contemporary Christian Performance/Song. His accolades include multiple Dove Awards, such as Producer of the Year (2021), Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year (“Famous For,” 2021), and Spanish Language Recorded Song of the Year (“Stories on Stories,” 2024).
With a strong foundation already in place, the path forward is bright. We look forward to seeing how God continues to shape Sapp’s journey, both professionally and personally.
