Peter Dougherty (born June 27, 1984), who goes by the stage name Moon Boots, is an American DJ and music producer from Brooklyn, New York.

During his time in Chicago, Dougherty would join fellow musicians Saam Hagshenas and Jonathan Marks and become the keyboardist of the indie band Hey Champ.

In 2011, Dougherty met Perseus (Leon Oziel), the founder of the record label / DJ collective French Express.

In this new live configuration, Moon Boots sold-out shows at El Rey Theatre (Los Angeles), The Independent (San Francisco), Music Hall Of Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and made further appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheater (Morrison, CO) and Mamby On The Beach (Chicago).

All singles were well-received and got playtime on SiriusXM, KCRW, BBC Radio 1, and Triple J, and got support from DJ's such as The Black Madonna, Diplo, Claptone, MistaJam, Above & Beyond, and Danny Howard.

It also featured new collaborators Niia, Little Boots, Kaleena Zanders, Steven Klavier, and Gary Saxby of the Harlem Gospel Choir.

The live show is a CPU-light, almost entirely analog set-up using a variety of synths, instruments and pads to trigger samples.

[18] To coincide with the end of the tour, Dougherty released album track "Whisper In The Wind" ft. Black Gatsby as a single, along with a remix from Grammy-winning artist, Alex Metric, and a music video directed by Nate Camponi.

[19] In 2020, remixes of Moon Boots' track "Tied Up" were released, including mixes from Kenny Dope and Mat Zo.
