Chris Sanders, co-shop owner of Real Kutz Barber Shop, cuts hair and produces music under one roof.
Growing up in Springhill, L.A., Chris said he decided he wanted to be a barber at the age of 12 and has cut hair since he was 14. Before going to barber school, Chris practiced cutting hair on volunteers, friends, and on himself.
He also owns an independent record label called “Barcode Ent.” His label manages seven artists, for whom he helps write songs and sings backup vocals.
“It’s all about doing what you love to do … if you’re not doing what you love to do, nine times out of 10, it’s not going to stick around. I love cutting hair and music.”
