Drew Seeley

Andrew Michael Edgar Seeley (born April 30, 1982 in Ottawa, Ontario), better known as Drew Seeley, is a Canadian singer and actor. He has recorded many songs for The Walt Disney Company.

Career

Drew Seeley is best known as the singing voice of Troy for the first High School Musical. While most people believed it was Zac Efron singing the songs, it was later revealed that it was Seeley's voice blended with Zac's. This was due to casting Zac at such a late time, that the key for the songs were more for a tenor (whereas Efron is a high baritone), so playback was used for Troy's part during the film.

Seeley has sung on the following albums: DisneyMania 4, The Cheetah Girls 2, Jump In!, High School Musical, DisneyMania 5, and 6, Radio Disney Jams 9, and High School Musical: The Concert. "Get'cha Head in the Game", a song he co-wrote with Ray and Greg Cham for High School Musical, helped propel the soundtrack to 4 million copies sold stateside alone and was nominated for Emmy Award. He also took over for Efron for the HSM concert (Efron who was shooting Hairspray at the time).

In 2008, Drew was a guest star in The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody as the grandson of a guy who lost his phone and was later found by Maddie. He also made an appearance in Stuck In The Suburbs in 2004 as the hotel clerk. He was later cast in Another Cinderella Story for Warner Bros. with Selena Gomez. It was released on September 16th. There has been controversy over Drew and Selena's kiss in the movie due to the fact that he is 26 and she is 16. But despite all the controversy, it has been made very clear that Selena and Drew's relationship is nothing more than friendship and respect for one another. The 13 track CD for the movie with hit song "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" was made available in August.

Drew has just finished filming the lead role of Derek in The Shortcut, a thriller/horror by Adam Sandler's "Scary Madison Productions" which will be out early in 2009.
