As he matured, and with the evolution of jazz, he formed a succession of more adventurous bands, including "The family tree" and the "Mike Boothman Band", which birthed Kysofusion.

He opened major acts for Kool and the Gang, the Commodores, Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, Third World, the Pointer Sisters and Groover Washington Jr.

His musical Odyssey has taken him into the realm of theatre where he became involved with the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, a Drama company founded by noble prize winner Derek Walcott, and served as a musical director for
"The Charlatan" under Walcott's direction. His innovation and professionalism have thrilled many in the Caribbean and on the wider international stage.

Michael Boothman is also a top artist, like his brothers David and Roger and has held several exhibitions of his art. One of the last being an exhibition last year October together with David and Roger.
