Carney was born and raised in the West Village area of Manhattan, with his brother Zane and sister Paris. His great uncle was Academy Award-winning actor Art Carney.

Carney attended the Academy of Music at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles with his brother, Zane, and future band mates Aiden Moore and Jon Epcar. He went on to study at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, majoring in studio jazz guitar.
