Teenage rapping sensation Bangs has a lot on his plate at the moment — sudden fame, record deals, ladies, "haters".
But today the 19-year-old is just grappling with how best to shoot a video in his best friend's 2m-wide studio apartment.
The pint-sized set and one-person film crew seems hardly befitting of someone whose first single has been viewed more than 600,000 times online — mostly in the last week.
But as a groupie giggles her way through takes, Bangs — real name Ajak Chol — croons away earnestly as he eyes the next step towards his ultimate objective of "superstardom".
"It's kind of a small set … but I'm just starting," he says.
"Later on everything will be good, it's going to be professional — it's going to be big."
The new song, "Time for Sex", does not have the sweetness of his viral hit, "Take U To Da Movies". (Read more: 'It's not easy doing what I do')
It is shorter on lyrics and — as its title suggests — straight down to business.
Bangs jokes the song is in fact more of a sequel, an ode to what happens "later".
"This one is just for the ladies," he says.
"Ladies who would like a kind of romantic time, you know, just for that."
The Sudanese-born teenager admits to having a girlfriend but playfully declares it will be difficult to stay faithful, especially as his fame rises.
Bangs claims women are drawn to him because they like his songs and connect with his personality — and he is only too happy to "love them back".
Whether this is true or not, there is no doubt his appeal has spread beyond his small home at Footscray, in Melbourne's west, reaching a global audience.
The tall, athletic-looking teenager first posted "Take U To Da Movies" on YouTube a few months ago, but it was not until last week when the clip featured on viral video sites that it exploded in popularity. (Watch more: The hit that started it all)
He has played live shows to packed houses, including a gig at Melbourne's Prince of Wales hotel, where he confounded even venue staff with his ability to draw in the punters.
Bangs's talent has divided those among his biggest audience — the internet — where some have ridiculed his music and claimed he is popular simply because he is bad.
"This music video is HILARIOUSLY awful," wrote one blogger, Keto.
Bangs acknowledges some people — "haters", he calls them — have taken particular pleasure in mocking his songs but that won't sway him from doing "his thing".
"They say, 'your music is not good, stop rocking, why are you doing it?'"
"But I don't care what they say … I'm doing it for people who love to listen to music."
He also sees an opportunity to be a positive voice for the Sudanese community in Melbourne, which has suffered bad press in recent times following several well-publicised incidents of violence.
Bangs says he has often witnessed and heard about situations where Sudanese have been treated unfairly since arriving as a refugee in 2004.
Many people in the wider community rush to judgment and blame Sudanese for things they haven't necessarily done, he says.
"Later they [might] come to us and say, 'Yeah, you were right and all that'," he says.
He says he would be happy to tell his side to anyone prepared to listen.
"If they let me have a chance to go speak to them, I will tell them what's happening," he says.
Bangs expects "Time for Sex" will be available on YouTube by the end of the month.
