I have been writing music for the last 17 years and it just turned into screenwriting. To me, writing music and screenwriting both require a format, high concepts, and story telling so they relate very much. My next music project is called Fate of A Pharaoh and I will be the executive producer for most of the tracks. Feel free to download or listen to any of my previous music at http://www.therhythmiclounge.com/SewaCida or http://www.datpiff.com/profile/SewaCida to get a feel of my writing capabilities. Go to bio
