DANIEL JOHNS Qantas SOYA workshop

Having already composed a new symphonic instrumental for an ad campaign for the airline company, Johns has aided Qantas once again with providing a day's worth of mentorship to the winners of the Qantas Spirit Of Youth Australia (SOYA) awards.

As News Ltd reports, the prime SOYA winner is Sydney's Caitlin Park, who along with runners-up, the delicate musical styling of Melbourne's Hayden Calnin and songwriting maverick Courtney Barnett, scored a day's workshop with the award-winning Johns.

Daniel Johns admits though, that he's still a student. "I've never done something like this before," he said, "but I find it really inspiring. I feel like I am the one being educated."

Johns' main advice was stressing to his charges to let others from outside the music industry to listen to their work to gain "a fresh perspective."

"I don't think anyone has the right to comment on someone else's art unless they are asked," said Johns. "I love asking people who aren't musicians, like surfer friends, to hear music through their ears."

Johns, who scored 'Atlas', the new theme for Qantas, has also been working on his own solo project, and a new collaborative album with Empire of the Sun/Pnau/Cirque du Soleil show composer Luke Steele.
