In the late 1980s, he helped to form the New York–based punk band Bad Trip, releasing two full-length records and numerous EPs. He later began directing music videos for Weezer, System of a Down, P.O.D., Papa Roach, Blink-182 and The All-American Rejects. His 2000 video for Blink-182's "All the Small Things" earned three MTV Video Music Award nominations and the Papa Roach video "Broken Home" was nominated for a Grammy. In 2001, he signed with commercial production company Hungry Man.

Siega has directed episodes of television series, including Dexter, True Blood, Cold Case and Veronica Mars. In 2008, he directed the pilot and co-executive produced The Vampire Diaries, which ran for eight seasons on the CW Network. Siega also directed the pilots and was executive producer of The Following, Charlie's Angels, Time after Time, The Passage and God Friended Me.
