Early and personal life Carter Rubin was born on October 11, 2005, and raised in Shoreham, New York. He was born into a musical family; his grandfather played guitar and provided backup vocals for the band Jay and the Americans in the 1960s. His older brother, Jack (born 2001), was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, which led to his mother, Alonna, opening Families in Arms, a nonprofit autism foundation at which he performs, that raises money to send families like Rubin's to Walt Disney World. After graduating from Shoreham-Wading River High School, Rubin moved with his family to Nashville, Tennessee to further his music career.
