Career

Drew Seeley grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he was cast in Hal Prince’s revival of Showboat and stayed with the production for a year. Seeley appeared on a number of spin-off albums from Disney's films and television shows, as well as being the "singing voice" for Zac Efron's character, Troy, in the hit television movie High School Musical, which is also the main reason he was the replacement of Efron on the movie's tour. He has guest starred on shows such as One Tree Hill, Dawson’s Creek, and Guiding Light.

In 2005, Seeley began working with established producer Ray Cham and together they wrote “Getcha Head in the Game” for Disney’s quadruple platinum High School Musical soundtrack. His voice had been blended with Zac Efron's voice for the character of Troy Bolton in High School Musical.[2] This garnered them an Emmy nomination in the “Best Original Song and Lyrics” category. In addition, Seeley filled in for Efron (who was shooting Hairspray) in the North America and Latin America tours of High School Musical: The Concert playing in 60,000 seat arenas and he can be heard on both soundtracks.

Seeley's association with Disney continued and he can be heard as a featured artist on several Disney soundtracks/compilation cds including: Disneymania 5, Disneymania 6, Disney Channel Holiday, Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 9, and B'You. Seeley’s duet with Spanish-born Mexican singer Belinda "Dance with Me", from the platinum Cheetah Girls 2 soundtrack, can be seen on the Disney Channel and on Radio Disney. Seeley appeared in Belinda's video of "Ni Freud Ni Tu Mama". Seeley also made a guest appearance on the current Chipmunks CD 'Undeniable', singing an updated take on "Shake Your Groove Thing" with Alvin and the gang.

In the summer of 2009 he starred as Prince Eric in the Disney Broadway Musical The Little Mermaid.[4] and had a leading roll in the horror movie The Shortcut.
