From the stages of Broadway to the depths of the jungle, Seth Stewart is a bridge between worlds.  

As a performer and creator in the entertainment industry, Seth has played the world’s largest stages, performing major roles in some of Broadway’s greatest hits- including the original, Tony Award-winning productions of “In the Heights” and “Hamilton”- and before tens of thousands of fans alongside artists like Madonna, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and Ne-Yo.

Driven by more than artistic expression, Seth followed a deep spiritual calling that led him from the spotlight to the silence of the forest. For over a decade he studied with shamans, participated in sweat lodges, vision quests, plant medicine ceremonies, and leadership retreats. Devoted to his calling, he retreated into nature and introspection, building an off-grid cabin in the forest where he spent three years immersing himself in and reconnecting with the ancient wisdom of nature.

Emerging with a renewed purpose, Seth has since been guiding others toward personal healing, clarity, and unity in a world undergoing profound transformation. Today, he is the driving force behind True Kings Academy, a transformative program for men seeking spiritual embodiment, soulful leadership, and deeper connection. He also mentors emerging artists through Performer’s Edge, blending performance discipline with wellness and an entrepreneurial mindset to cultivate holistic excellence.

Seth’s memoir, Follow Your Vision. Live Your Truth, which chronicles his journey from Broadway to spiritual guide.
