If you’ve visited Charles at the pop-up barbershop at Blacktown Arts Centre (or the one in his actual garage), you’ll be familiar with his fine taste in music.
Charles, aka Six Pound, is a local barber and all-round good guy. Sampling a diverse mix of 90s RnB and soul classics, Charles’ playlists are the soundtrack to his Garage Barbershop.

Charles Lomu, aka Six Pound, throws open his garage door for a multi-faceted project that explores notions of how men build community and identity in the sacred space of the neighbourhood barbershop.
The project – which includes barbering workshops for local young men, photographic portraits by Harold David, a video work, and new music – culminates in an exhibition and performance at Blacktown Arts Centre.
