Personal Life
Carter was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and raised in Macon, Georgia. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Valdosta State University, located in Valdosta, Georgia.

Since 2006, Carter had noticed tremors in his hands. In 2013, he received two brain surgeries. The first surgery was to implant electrodes in his brain, and the second was to put wires down his neck. During the operation, Carter needed to be awake for the best results, so his doctors suggested that he play guitar during his operation to see when his tremors weakened. A video recording was made of Carter's operation, which was later posted on YouTube and went viral.
