Every now and then a really catchy song appears out of nowhere, think Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’ or MAGIC!'s ‘Rude’. ‘Bills’ is another one of those earworms from new kid on the block, LunchMoney Lewis.

So who the hell is LunchMoney Lewis and why is he in so much debt?

Well, he’s not that new to the game. The Miami rapper appeared on Nicki Minaj’s song ‘Trini Dem Girls’ from The Pinkprint and co-wrote Jessie J’s ‘Burnin Up’.

As well as numerous songwriting credits the rapper/singer/producer is a prodigy of revered hitmaker, Lukasz Gottwald AKA Dr Luke - who has written tracks for everyone from Katy Perry to Miley Cyrus.

So, he’s a bit of a big deal in the world of pop?

Well yes, especially Down Under, where his track ‘Bills’ spent two weeks at No.1 in Australia and made it into the Top Ten in New Zealand.

Is there anything else I should know?

He's got music in his veins, the larger-than-life rising star's father and uncle are Ian and Roger Lewis of 70s reggae outfit, Inner Circle.

The duo penned the huge dancehall hit 'Bad Boys' and their Circle House studio has recorded with everyone from Flo Rida to Lil Wayne. Oh and here is hanging out with Gwen Stefani...
