Formative years.
With classical music training in both voice and music, Seay's formative years were spent playing piano, studying voice and traveling with her family throughout the Far East while her father, an Army physician, finished his medical residency. Her great aunt was the celebrated American operatic mezzo-soprano Margaret Harshaw, who performed for 22 seasons with the Metropolitan Opera. She later attended the Sotheby's Institute of Art in London with graduate studies in Decorative Art. It was while living in England and returning to her family's English roots, her music journey began singing on projects for song publishers Carlin, Motown, Warner Chappell Music, artists Elaine Paige and Annie Lennox and performing in London's music scene.
