He received his shakuhachi master teaching’s license (Shihan)[3] from Grand Master Michael Chikuzen Gould[4] in 2013. He has recorded five albums and performs internationally.[5] He played on stage during Sony's E3 2018 conference, prior to the reveal of Ghost of Tsushima, a samurai-based video game.
Boots mostly plays taimu shakuhachi, which are long, wide-bore flutes noted for their deep tones.[6]
