Iztueta was born in Lazkao, in the Goierri region of the province of Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. He had six brothers. He started attending school when he was 8. When he was 9, he watched bertsolaris for the first time, from which he developed an early and lasting enthusiasm for Basque bertsolaritza music.

Early in his life Lazkao Txiki worked as a bricklayer and farmer, and sold fodder for cows. His first public performance as a bertsolari took place in Legorreta in 1936. He came first in a competition for young improvisational musicians in 1950. Twelve years later he entered the prestigious contest (txapelketak), reaching the finals. He ranked second in the same event three years later, coming up finalist again in 1967.
