Coming off a collaboration with Nike at Air Max Con, Laolu has been commissioned to collaborate with Beyonce. This comes 3 years after Laolu decided to give up his career as a lawyer in Nigeria and pursue his passion for art.
As he builds his business and establishes a direction for the brand Laolu.NYC, this new collaboration can only serve as a boost. Laolu’s piece, the Sacred Art of the Ori, will be featured in Beyonce‘s upcoming Lemonade music video.
As Knowledge Bandits got a chance to sit down and chat with Laolu, it is apparent that his passions is his most defining quality. His humility is infectious as he tells the listeners he has no advice outside of "following your heart."
Laolu has some major things in the pipeline that he can't talk about quite yet, but he has promised to let the Bandits know what's happening as soon as he can.
Stay tuned for Episode 8 with Laolu and hear how he was able to drop everything and pursue his dream.
