Siegel wrote a song for a Topsy Foundation commercial.

The 90 second clip was shown in its entirety in the It's not all doom and gloom section of Russell Howard's Good News on BBC2 in 2010.
Her musical influences are (in no particular order) Joni Mitchell, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Nina Simone and Janis Joplin.[2]
Co-wrote the theme for Haven with Andre Fratto.[3]
Siegel's latest album is with the band Firehorse[4] and contains the completed version of the song If You Don't Want To Be Alone used in the Topsy Foundation commercial.
Siegel is also involved in a number of side projects: she fronts the vintage soul/R&B outfit Brooklyn Boogaloo Blowout and sings in the Citizens Band, a cabaret collective featuring musicians from the group Beirut. She has a clothing line in the works.[5]
