Seidy's experience as a performer began at age twelve when she formed a singing group called "Sensation". The group won several talent competitions in Los Angeles.

Starring in this film helped Seidy gain recognition in the Indigenous Latino American community and gave her the opportunity to work with other wonderful directors such as; Quentin Tarantino, Joel Schumacher, and Antoine Fuqua. However the director that has been most influential to her career has been Gregory Nava, casting her in films such as Mi Familia , Selena and later reuniting her with Esai Morales in his wonderful series American Family.
