Reeve Carney originated the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, in the record-breaking Broadway musical, ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ in 2010. A lifelong musician, Reeve jumped at the opportunity to perform a score by U2’s Bono and The Edge – not to mention re-team with director Julie Taymor, who he’d worked with in her film, ‘The Tempest’.

When he’s not finding new ways to terrify himself as an actor, Reeve is diving headfirst into his music. He’s currently putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album, ‘Youth is Wasted’, which he recorded primarily in his New York apartment. With his demanding Spider-Man schedule, it was impossible to get back and forth to the studio, so Reeve decided to build his own studio–right in his living room.

His bizarre Broadway hours also made teaming up with other musicians all but impossible, so Reeve took matters into his own hands, literally, playing every single instrument himself. Thus, the album has a homespun quality, a la Paul McCartney’s ‘Ram’–which just so happens to be Reeve’s all-time favourite album.
