The blog features talk about political commentary, celebrity gossip (including exclusive stories that he himself has broken, based on unique sources), interviews with celebrities (including Successimo’s own January Jones), as well as book, movie and television reviews and critiques. His writing, while once being described as "snarky" and "vicious", has also been described as "beautiful and lyrical" and "impeccably researched." His recent theory on the life of opera singer Maria Callas has gained traction with many leading scholars.
He is currently studying Music Performance at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. His musical journey started in Fourth Grade, when he was taken to see an English-language production of Mozart's Die Zauberflote. He has since tirelessly researched opera, eventually taking voice lessons to further his understanding of the craft. He recently essayed the role of Figaro (Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro) in College of DuPage's Opera Workshop Recital, A Little Mozart Music. In addition to performing operatic music, he has also written many essays on opera, focusing his study on often-forgotten characters and their origins. He also plays the Harpsichord. In addition, he is the recent recipient of the COD John Belushi Memorial Choral Scholarship.
In addition to his musical ventures, he is an avid Actor. He has recently appeared in productions of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple (Vinnie) and Woody Allen’s Don’t Drink the Water (Axel Magee.) He recently took part in an Acting Class, essaying the roles of Max Bialystock in Mel Brooks' The Producers, George in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 2nd Witch in Macbeth and sang "I'm Still Here" from Stephen Sondheim's Follies. He is currently in rehearsals for an original play, in a part written for him by Playwright Tom Lindsay.
