[1][3] After his parents recognised his talent as a singer, Akzeybek received singing lessons at a private music school[1] and his father also gave him a keyboard.
[2] Akzeybek passed the entrance examination at the state Dokuz Eylül University of İzmir with the maximum score and started to study singing there.
[1] As he saw few further opportunities for development for himself in his home country, Akzeybek said, because there was no independent opera tradition there, he followed the advice of a horn player friend who occasionally worked with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and moved from İzmir to Lübeck in 2004, even though he said he no longer spoke a word of German.
[1][2] In Germany, Akzeybek studied for three more semesters at the Lübeck Musikhochschule with Anke Eggers and, after graduating, in master classes with Lia Lantieri, Katia Ricciarelli and René Kollo.
From 2014, Akzeybek returned to İzmir for a short time, where he sang the title role in the 2015 premiere of a Harry Potter opera staged by Murat Göksu at the Mozart Academy.
