What2do4crew interviews Dan Wilkinson
Where are you and what are you doing?
I’m living in Melbourne, Australia at the moment. Chasing my dreams in the music industry.
What was your first job?
Working in a liquor store… yes I started young
What made you apply to become a steward?
The opportunity to live life and see the world
How long were you with the airline based in the middle east?
6.5 years
You’re busy making music tell us more.
Currently working on a solo project, Roar Sugar. Funk pop music, which I am also re-mixing as house tracks. I’m heading into the studio next month (August) to record the tracks for release later in the year. Very exciting.
Check them out:
Have completed a small business management course since my return to Australia and am going to receive government funding for this project.
Also in the process of setting up a funk rock band similar in style to the Chili Peppers. This is my true love but the music industry and musicians are so unreliable that I set-up Roar Sugar. Fingers in lots of pies…
What do you think about Robbie Williams? should he rejoin Take That or just admit defeat.
Who cares? And hang on… are you serious?….. admit defeat?… poor guy… I guess he’ll just have to go cry into his 80 million dollars…
Describe the way you dance.
Like an agitated monkey on caffeine pills
Who was the most famous person you had on one of your flights?
Can I say me? :D
Whats the stupidest thing you have ever bought?
A Robin outfit (Batman and Robin). For a theme party at Club#203 White Building.. only problem was there aren’t many costume shops in Dubai, so I had to get a kid’s outfit and wear that… it was a very firm fit…
On scale of one to ten, how good looking are you?
7.. I never thought I was that good-looking but apparently I’m hot!! Ha ha ha…
Have you ever had sex to one of your tracks?
Ha ha ha ha.. I don’t think so, but there have been some crazy nights!! It’s entirely possible
How far would you get in Australia Idol?
Not very far
What do you think about websites like Face book & You Tube?
Rate them. Prefer Myspace to FB as it allows more creativity, but have had SO many friends from Dubai and the rest of the world get back in contact with me via FB since I joined. YouTube and Myspace, great tools for any budding musician.
Any tips for cabin crew?
Get out!! :D ha ha ha ha ha ha ha….. Nah, just enjoy yr time as much as possible while you can, plan for the future and when you’re feel your time coming to an end realize it and set up yr next step in life.
What was your worst experience?
Some of those flights were pretty horrendous… there are other stories but not for publication :D
Who did you really fancy but they never knew, while in Dubai?
No-one really comes to mind... I’m a firm believer in chasing after what you want…
What was your fav layover and why?
For partying? Initially loved heading anywhere but oz, but towards the end I loved my Australian/NZ flights as I really enjoyed taking the crew out in my home cities. Loved Munich. Beautiful city. Gutted I never made it to NYC, but I was more focused on my oz trips by the time it came around.
And finally do you want to say hi to anyone special in Dubai?
Nah, come check out the tracks and say hi!! And if you’re looking for someone to party with down in MEL look me up
