Don’t call me insensitive for having a laugh at the hopes and dreams of an aspiring artist, but this cat Bangs [Official] really sucks. I don’t care if he’s from another country, so is Akon and he doesn’t totally suck, I just don’t listen to him. Bangs, however, sucks in a way that makes you want to root for him. He’s funny and quirky and has does that “rapping foreigner/Tupac” thing really well.

Everyone has had their say about this guy so far but holy crap, I love him. Bangs, you’re my hero. Here’s an excerpt of me trying to convince a prominent urban culture blogger that she should love him too:

BoredStork: he’s trying very hard
BoredStork: he never lie
BoredStork: and he wants to take you to the movie and he even got the popcorn
BoredStork: he knows what you like

Said friend is STILL shaking her head at me.

Check out the clip of “Take U To Da Movies” “after the jump”

“Bangs is a 19 year old rap artist born in North Khartoum, Sudan. At the age of 11, he moved to Egypt with his family after his Father married another wife. He spent two years there before coming to Australia in 2003.

He has been writing rap, hip hop and pop since settling in Melbourne in 2004.

“Music is my wife”, Bangs sang in a live jam recently. He writes about life, love and hope and his music grows with him till the end of life.

He recorded his first demo “Girlfriend” in 2005 with DJ Wasabi in Collingwood, then started to lay down tracks in his home studio.

In July 2008, he recorded his first professional album at Gateway Living Music Studios, titled “Hard to be Up”. Produced by John Favaro and Paul Last name, it features the new hit single “Take U to Da Movies”.

The name “Hard To Be Up” means that he worked so hard to put the songs together to make the album.

He is constantly stretching his creative abilities, and is already working on his next album, with the working title “Am Still Moving On”.”
