He completed his high school education in Lagos State and later pursued his tertiary education in Kwara State, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma in Library and Information Science.

Over the years, he experimented with various mediums, but his favourite mediums are oil and acrylic on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara.

His paintings offer a unique perspective, interpreting his thoughts on canvas and African wax prints in Ankara. Recently, he started working on a series of paintings on Ankara fabrics as support. He was fascinated by the vibrant colours and patterns of the Ankara fabric, which inspired this discovery. He has participated in various art competitions and exhibitions, including the iCreate skill festival in 2017 and the ijakadi festival as an exhibitor. His works have been sold in Nigeria and abroad, and he continues to create thought-provoking pieces that captivate and inspire his viewers.
