He was an early associate of Sheila E. when he was tapped by Prince to form a new touring band after the demise of The Revolution in 1986. Seacer became the band's bassist, as well as a backing vocalist. Later, he began collaborating with Prince as a songwriter on several projects. Seacer was a founding member of Prince's The New Power Generation in 1991, switching from bass to the band's guitarist. He remained a member of the band until 1993, and also participated in the later version of Madhouse. After leaving the Prince camp in 1993, Seacer has worked as a producer and session musician on various projects, most notably the gospel music ensemble Sounds of Blackness. In 1990, he produced the majority of Right Rhythm, a Motown-issued album recorded by legendary pop/R&B group The Pointer Sisters. In 1991, he performed various instruments on the album Moment of Truth by Terri Nunn. In October 1998, Seacer (along with Tony M.) filed a lawsuit against Prince, claiming that Prince hadn't shared royalties that Levi and Tony were owed for songs they had co-written for Prince's NPG Publishing, including "Sexy MF" and "My Name Is Prince". In the end Mosely and Seacer settled for approximately $40,000 each (apparently, not even enough to pay their legal expenses), having sued Prince for $800,000.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.prince/msg/41f781b47323b648 |title=Google Groups |publisher=Groups.google.com |date= |accessdate=2015-07-17}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Seacer Jr., Levi}}{{US-bass-guitarist-stub}} 15 : African-American guitarists|African-American rock musicians|American funk bass guitarists|American male bass guitarists|American funk guitarists|Rhythm guitarists|American rhythm and blues guitarists|American rhythm and blues bass guitarists|American soul guitarists|American male guitarists|The New Power Generation members|Year of birth missing (living people)|Musicians from Richmond, California|Living people|Guitarists from California |
