2022: Boy

In April 2022, Sutherland released his debut studio album, Boy. The album was recorded during the pandemic in London, Los Angeles and Melbourne, and was "shaped by Katz's own personal neuroses concerning himself, past relationships, the frustrations of modern society, and his obsessive, never-ending search for the perfect funk".[1] The album was nominated for two awards at the 2022 ARIA Music Awards.[6]

In February 2023, Sutherland released the stand-alone single entitled "Changes", which include an interpolation of the 2002 Sandy Rivera song of the same name.[7]
