Chat with Drew Seeley

Actor, Singer, and Songwriter

About Drew Seeley

In 2008, while filming 'Another Cinderella Story' on a soundstage in Budapest, Drew Seeley co-wrote and recorded the film’s breakout anthem 'What I’ve Been Looking For'—a track that didn’t just soundtrack a Disney reboot but subtly redefined teen pop balladry for that era: layered harmonies, conversational phrasing, and lyrics rooted in quiet self-assertion rather than romantic grandiosity. Unlike many performers cast in Disney vehicles, he insisted on writing or co-writing every original song he performed on screen, pushing producers to clear rights for his demos before principal photography wrapped. His Broadway debut in 'Jersey Boys' wasn’t as Frankie Valli but as Bob Gaudio—the songwriter behind the Four Seasons’ hits—mirroring his own dual identity as performer and craftsman. That duality echoes in how he approaches vocal arrangement: he treats melody like architecture, building bridges between verse and chorus with intentional rhythmic displacement, a habit honed during late-night studio sessions scoring indie TV pilots in Toronto.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Drew Seeley write all the songs he performed in 'Another Cinderella Story'?
He co-wrote three of the four original songs featured in the film, including the lead single 'What I’ve Been Looking For' with Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil. The fourth track, 'One Night Only', was written by the film’s music supervisor. Seeley negotiated early creative control, insisting on contributing to the score before accepting the role.
What role did Drew Seeley play in 'Jersey Boys', and how long did he perform it?
He originated the role of Bob Gaudio in the Toronto production of 'Jersey Boys' in 2010, performing for over 18 months. His casting was notable because he was the first non-American actor to portray Gaudio in a major English-language production, and he re-recorded Gaudio’s iconic piano parts live each night using a custom MIDI-triggered keyboard rig.
Has Drew Seeley contributed songs to non-Disney projects?
Yes—he co-wrote 'Let Me Go' for the 2013 indie film 'The Art of the Steal', and penned the theme song for CBC’s 'Little Mosque on the Prairie' spinoff pilot in 2015. He also produced and co-wrote five tracks on singer-songwriter Kira Isabella’s 2016 EP 'Caffeine & Big Dreams', blending Nashville storytelling with Toronto R&B inflections.
What vocal technique does Drew Seeley emphasize in his coaching workshops?
He teaches 'phrase anchoring'—a method where singers identify one emotionally resonant word per line and build dynamic contour around it, rather than following traditional bel canto breath phrasing. He developed this while recording 'Another Cinderella Story', noticing how young actors intuitively leaned into lyrical vulnerability when given concrete emotional touchpoints instead of technical directives.
