Josh Latin, better known by his stage name Boots, is a music producer, performer, songwriter, and musician who sprang to popularity as the mind behind Beyoncé’s self-titled fifth album. In addition to his music, Josh Latin has made headlines for his connection with Rose McGowan, an actor, performer, and advocate for women’s rights. Even though the collaboration with Beyoncé was kept a secret, Boots rose to prominence in the music industry after the album’s release. Josh Latin, who comes from a modest upbringing, has not forgotten his challenges, and those are frequently depicted in his lyrics and music. Two of Beyoncé’s renditions of his most well-known songs are “Haunted” and “Drunk in Love.” He has not only produced music for other artists, but also his own solo debut album, “AQURIA,” as well as the well-received EPs “Motorcycle Jesus” and “Dark Daze.” With collaborations with Jay-Z, Timbaland, Beyoncé, and others, the exceptional musician is unstoppable.
Work & Fame of Josh Latin
Despite having humble origins, Josh Latin is now a household name among fans of hip-hop and those who work in the music business. He had to live in his Chevrolet Gladiator during his adolescent years while he was homeless for extended periods of time. He still frequently uses lyrics like “Maybe the weight of the world pulled him down / Maybe, it was the chaos we endure / Trying to find ourselves a purpose” to allude to his tumultuous past.
His life improved as he turned to music for solace. Josh Latin was the frontman for several unsuccessful bands, including Blonds, Stonefox, Young Circles, and Blond Fuzz. The excellent artist was motivated by the time he spent battling. He met someone by coincidence in 2013, and as a result of that meeting, he signed a contract with Roc Nation, Jay-Z’s entertainment firm that is affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment. He has adamantly refused to divulge any information regarding this meeting, which has only made him more enigmatic.
Beyoncé’s fifth album, which bears her name, was produced, written, and composed in large part by Josh, who remained mum about their collaboration. In addition to writing and producing singles like “Haunted” and “Drunk in Love ft. Jay-Z,” he also contributed instrumentals and backing vocals to the songs “Jealous” and “Superpower ft. Frank Ocean.”
His most intimate song, ‘Haunted,’ originally titled ‘I’m On To You,’ immediately struck a chord with Beyoncé because of the challenges it detailed. The album was a huge success, and Josh—who went by the stage name Boots—began to gain notoriety as one of the most promising young musicians and artists in recent memory. By claiming that Josh was an innovator and that she was proud to work with him, Beyonce delivered a powerful endorsement.
Following the album’s enormous commercial success, speculation about the identity of the enigmatic Boots grew.
Inquisitive Beyoncé fans learned about his experience with bands and his past despite his or anyone connected to him refusing to say anything. Even still, the majority of his backstory is still a mystery. This has contributed to the mystique he has developed, which fits well with the type of dark, frequently cynical, rooted-in-life music he makes.
‘WinterSpringSummerFall’, Josh Latin’s debut mixtape, was released in 2014 as a result of all of this success. On February 13, 2014, Beyoncé posted a link to Boot’s original song “Dust,” which featured him on lead vocals. He released singles including “Howl,” “Autumn (Lude I)” with Kelela, and “Ride Ride Ride” with Sia over the course of the following few months. Josh Latin continued to have a successful year in 2014 by providing the music for the trailer of the popular movie “Fifty Shades of Grey,” which featured a slowed-down version of Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” song.
With the publication of his debut extended play, a 30-minute short film titled “Motorcycle Jesus,” Josh Latin’s stratospheric climb continued in 2015. ‘Mercy’ and ‘I Run Roulette’ were two of the five original tracks in the movie. Josh Latin’s first solo album, titled “AQURIA” or “Aquaria,” was published in August 2015. Boots contributed vocals and music to songs like “C.U.R.E” and “Aquaria” on the critically acclaimed album. The album’s biggest success was “Bombs Away.” Run The Jewels, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Cristin Milloti are all featured on his second EP, “Dark Daze,” which was also published in 2018.
