It s all about shirt n’jeans

STILL in his young age, Adebiyi Olusegun Michael is a photo artist of note. Born in the 70s, he attended Ross Cottage Primary School, Akoka and Doregos Private Academy, Ipaja for his primary and secondary education. He later moved to Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, where he studied Computer Science.
