He graduated from Anadolu University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics. Öztürk, who was also a licensed basketball player, began engaging in radio broadcasting while continuing his university education. At a time when the number of private television channels and radio stations was rapidly increasing, he started working at Eskişehir radios together with his roommate. However, because he could not pronounce the letter “r,” his desire to become a presenter was rejected, and he was limited to preparing programs. Nevertheless, by bending the rules, Öztürk managed to get his voice heard by listeners and gained appreciation with his unique and humorous style. Later, he continued presenting programs at “Genç Radyo,” founded by his roommate, and together with his friends, launched a satirical magazine with political content called “Gına.” He used the nickname “Beyaz” for the first time under the cartoons he drew for this magazine. During his time in Eskişehir, Öztürk held two sculpture, two ceramic, and one cartoon exhibition. Upon receiving an offer from Klas FM in Istanbul, he entered the radio profession professionally. He produced various television programs on Number One TV and Kanal 6. His real fame came through Beyaz Show on Kanal D and Star TV.
