He attended the University of Benin which is situated in historical city of Benin in Nigeria.
Although famous for it's ancient bronze sculptures and its rich cultural heritage, the modern city of Benin has a thriving art community at the University of Benin where El Dragg is a senior lecturer in painting.

Most of El-Dragg's paintings are done in oils. his love for the beauty, colour and diversity of the Nigerian culture is evident in his work.

With a temperament to match Michelangelo’s, he can be fiery and feisty when it comes to taking a stand for what he believes in, and he will voice his opinion without fear.
