b5 Media Music Channel Blogger Spotlight: Meet Lauren Katulka Of Oz Music Scene
Now obviously you all know Brit Music Scene is the best blog on the b5 media network, yeah, tell that to ProBlogger Darren Rowse! But there are other blogs here too, and some of them kick serious butt.
Mike Laba, the editor of the music channel decided it was time we all got to know each other a bit better, and so is slowly but surely working his way round all 5,000 or so (at a rough guess) of us conducting interviews.
Here is the first, which focusses on Lauren Katulka, who writes our Australian sister blog Oz Music Scene, and does a fantastic job of telling the rest of the world that Aussie music doesn’t just begin and end with Kylie Minogue.
BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT: LAUREN KATULKA
What blog do you write?
Oz Music Scene
How long have you been blogging?
Professionally it’s been about six months now. But I’ve kept a personal blog for roughly seven years, so it feels like a natural progression.
What do you like best about blogging?
I’m a bit of a control freak, so it’s really great to write about the things I want to write about, and the way I want to write them. I also love hearing from my readers, and meeting new people because of it.

Passionate, domestic, honest, creative, optimistic
What is the last song that you heard that made you say ‘Wow!’?
“How Far We’ve Come” by Matchbox Twenty. I’ve been a Matchbox fan forever, and to have them come back with such a strong single thrilled me. It’s just so unbelievably catchy and so much fun.
What album is currently taking over your rotation?
Live at Lizotte’s. It’s a compilation of live recordings from one of my favourite Australian venues. It features some classic Aussie tracks stripped back and acoustic, which gives you a deeper appreciation of these iconic songs.
What blogging tactics have you found to be most beneficial for generating traffic?
Posting regularly and at least once a day is the only way to do it - no one is going to keep visiting your blog if there’s nothing new to see. I also think it’s important as a music blogger to see live concerts and listen to new music so you’ve always got something to write about.
What advice would you give someone who is just starting out as a blogger?
Blog about a topic you’re passionate about, and the rest will come naturally.
