Burak was born in Istanbul but grew up and attended school in Izmit, as his parents divorced and he lived with his mother and grandfather. In 2014, Burak lost his mother to an incurable disease. This was a devastating blow. Since childhood, Burak had watched films and put himself in the shoes of the characters, always wanting to be on the other side of the screen. This desire brought Burak to Istanbul, and his entire family supported his decision, standing behind him. Having made this decision, Burak began reading a lot, watching films, observing, and taking acting lessons, which he continues to do. His manager, Gökçe Doruk Erten, has guided and supported Burak since the beginning and continues to this day.
