Levent Yuksel was born in Antalya, Turkey. He was raised primarily by his grandmother and step-grandfather whom he called mother and father. He met his mother when he was 7 and it was not until age 35 that he had met his biological father and discovered that he had 5 siblings. His interest in and talent for music was immediately apparent as he started playing the violin at age 5.
