Boots is the working name of Florida-born singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Asher Cruz. Known for his cross-genre approach at making sonically heavy, forward-thinking R&B, hip-hop, and rock, Boots first came to prominence after working on <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m" data-name="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a>'s acclaimed 2013 self-titled album. Hailing from the Miami area, Boots dropped out of high school and eventually gained prominence performing with a handful of South Florida bands. However, by 2013, Boots was homeless and living out of his car. Around this time, a demo of his song "I’m Onto You" caught the ear of <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m" data-name="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a>, who made inquiries about the artist collaborating with her on new material. "I’m Onto You" was reworked into <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m" data-name="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a>'s "Haunted," and several more of Boots' songs and productions made it onto the album. In the end, he is credited on over half of the tracks on Beyoncé. After the release of <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m" data-name="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a>'s album, Boots released his first official EP, the five-song Motorcycle Jesus, which included the moody, bass-heavy single "I Run Roulette." He went on to produce for <a href="spotify:artist:4RnBFZRiMLRyZy0AzzTg2C" data-name="Run The Jewels">Run The Jewels</a> (RTJ2, Meow the Jewels, RTJ3, and RTJ4) as well as <a href="spotify:artist:6nB0iY1cjSY1KyhYyuIIKH" data-name="FKA twigs">FKA twigs</a>' third EP, M3LL155X. In late 2015 he released his solo debut full-length, AQUARIA. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
