Her mother, a former member of the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, is of Israeli descent dating back to the 1800s on her paternal side and from the Getz family of jewelers on her maternal side.
At age 10, Seeman pursued piano lessons. She took up violin at the Saddle Rock Elementary School and picked up guitar at 16.
During Seeman's high school years, she was an avid fine artist. Seeman attended Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with the intention of pursuing a career in art. In the practice rooms of Carnegie-Mellon, Seeman found a piano teacher and studied classical piano.
At Carnegie-Mellon, Seeman was on the School Activities Board, booking bands to perform on campus. With a passion for jazz, Seeman attended a jazz theory class taught by Dr. Nathan Davis, Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh where she learned to play "Giant Steps", "Moment's Notice" and "Round Midnight".
Wishing to learn Chinese calligraphy, Seeman attended a class in Chinese language where she learned to write Chinese characters. This motivated Seeman to apply as a transfer student to Columbia University in New York, where she would pursue Asian Studies and be in the music world in New York City.
While on Long Island, Seeman studied piano with Tony Aless, jazz pianist who played with Woody Herman, Charlie Parker, among others. Seeman also took several lessons from Sir Roland Hanna.

## Career
### Songwriting career

Seeman spent nights in New York City jazz clubs while working as a temporary secretary at Atlantic Records and Warner Communications. In between jobs, while lying on a dock over the Long Island Sound in Kings Point, she was inspired to write lyrics for jazz instrumentals. In NY, she met David Lasley, a songwriter and session singer touring with James Taylor, who sang demos of her lyrics to the instrumentals.
Seeman relocated to Los Angeles in 1977 for a position at ABC Records, which was sold the next year to MCA Records. In 1979 Dee Dee Bridgewater recorded Seeman's lyric version of the Ramsey Lewis instrumental "Tequila Mockingbird", composed by Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind & Fire and produced by George Duke. This led to a collaboration with Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire, with whom she, Maurice White and Eddie del Barrio wrote "Sailaway", for Earth, Wind & Fire's Faces album.
During this time, she met Carmine Coppola and Italia Pennino and began a collaboration developing themes from Carmine's movie scores into songs, writing lyrics and producing song demos for the themes from The Black Stallion, The Outsiders, and Napoleon.
Seeman began writing originals with David Lasley and others co-writers, producing 24-track recordings at ABC Recording Studios with David Benoit, Bobby Watson, Eduardo del Barrio, David Garibaldi, Doug Rodrigues, Terry Reid, Hubert Laws, Sylvia St. James, Arnold McCuller and ABC staff recording engineers Al Schmitt, Jr. and Zoli Osaze. She met Gerry Brown, a young recording engineer and tape librarian at ABC. He had mixed one of her songs and was listening so enthusiastically, she told him he could mix all of her songs.
While recording at ABC Recording Studios, she met Jermaine Jackson and gave him a demo of the Eumir Deodato - Maurice White composition "Tahiti Hut", an instrumental with her lyrics sung by David Lasley. "Tahiti Hut" was recorded during Jermaine Jackson's sessions with the band Switch, along with the track "Reaching For Tomorrow", co-written with Paul Jackson, Jr and Seeman. "Reaching For Tomorrow" became the title track of Switch's subsequent album, while "Tahiti Hut" remained unreleased until issued as a bonus track on an expanded digital edition of the album in 2019.
In 1982, Seeman signed an exclusive writer agreement with Intersong Music, PolyGram Publishing. While under contract, she wrote "Walking On The Chinese Wall" with Billie Hughes, which her publisher turned down as too unusual, giving her back the song. However, by 1984, Earth, Wind & Fire co-frontman Philip Bailey expressed interest in recording the song, which became the title track of his subsequent solo album Chinese Wall and also a minor pop hit that cracked the Billboard Hot 100, accompanied by a music video.
Seeman has maintained her own publishing company, Noa Noa Music, named after the Tahitian words "noa noa" (fragrant scent) she used in her lyrics for "Tahiti Hut". She has attended international conferences, spoke as a panelist at the Live at Heart Film & Music Festival Seminar in Örebro, Sweden, NAMM 2025 and was interviewed twice by Ray Cordeiro (Uncle Ray) on All the Way with Ray on RTHK Radio 3, Hong Kong.

Seeman wrote five songs: "Everyday Is Christmas", "Which Way, Robert Frost", "Let It Go", "Lucky In Love" and "Double Trouble" with German and Scandinavian co-writers in Europe, in a jazz style Cheung later coined "Canto-jazz". Four songs were adapted into Cantonese while "Everyday Is Christmas" he sings in English. When the album was finished, Cheung called it "Private Corner".
Cheung wanted to try a different style, jazz, for his new album which he called Private Corner, because Cheung says it is a personal expression, something he wanted to do for himself. The first song, "Everyday Is Christmas", Seeman co-wrote with Philipp Steinke. Cheung liked "Everyday Is Christmas" so much, he asked Seeman and Steinke to write another song and they composed "Which Way, Robert Frost?". Seeman continued to write songs for Cheung in the new "Canto-jazz" style, a phrase Cheung coined to describe the music of his Private Corner album. "不只有緣 (Lucky in Love)", "Double Trouble", "Let It Go", "Which Way, Robert Frost?", and "Everyday Is Christmas", were co-written with European collaborators and all of the songs were adapted into Cantonese, except "Everyday Is Christmas". Cheung said he tried having the lyrics for "Everyday Is Christmas" adapted into Cantonese, but he liked the meaning of the lyrics in English so much that he decided to record it in English. Nokia's music download service website (Ovi.com) announced that "Everyday Is Christmas" was the 10th most downloaded Christmas song in the world in 2010, joining classic hits such as Wham's 'Last Christmas' and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You".
