Meet Eli / Anthony Silva / Muniz | CEO / COO

We had the good fortune of connecting with Eli / Anthony Silva / Muniz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eli / Anthony, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of Bandzlandia is our unwavering commitment to family values and community-driven growth. Bandzlandia was born from humble beginnings—just two brothers with a dollar and a dream, pressing T-shirts in the living room of a one-bedroom apartment. What started as a passion project quickly transformed into a movement.

Over the past two years, we’ve expanded beyond those early days and built a thriving Brand Partner Program that’s become a cornerstone in the streetwear community. At the heart of our success is the belief that every brand we support is family. Their victories are our victories. Their growth is our purpose.

Bandzlandia has evolved from a clothing line into a full-scale brand incubator—an ecosystem for dreamers, creators, and visionaries. We provide the tools, resources, and mentorship needed to take a concept from idea to execution. Our partners are equipped not only for success in the digital space but are also positioned for retail expansion, premium manufacturing, and industry-leading customer service.

Our core philosophy remains unchanged: people before business, and God before profit. We are committed to delivering the highest quality clothing at the best possible price, all while fostering a community where every member can turn their passion into profit—and that profit into a new life.

Bandzlandia isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement built on love, legacy, and limitless potential. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about where we’re going, together.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
At Bandzlandia, we’re more than just a clothing brand—we’re a brand-building ecosystem built on purpose, passion, and people. What sets us apart is our commitment to empowering others. We don’t just sell clothes—we incubate dreams. We’ve created a space where emerging brands can access real resources: custom manufacturing, brand coaching, design, retail placement, content creation, and a supportive community that pushes one another forward.

What we’re most proud of is how far we’ve come from where we started. We began pressing T-shirts in a one-bedroom apartment with little more than belief and a shared dream between two brothers. Today, we’re helping dozens of brands bring their visions to life—some of which have never even imagined having their own clothing line, website, or retail presence. Now they do—and they’re thriving.

Getting to this point wasn’t easy. We built Bandzlandia from the ground up with no outside capital, just hard work, sleepless nights, and relentless faith. We faced every challenge you can think of—financial strain, self-doubt, learning the ropes of manufacturing and marketing, and doing it all while raising families. But we kept showing up. We learned that consistency beats perfection, and purpose will always outlast pressure.

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is the importance of staying grounded. Putting God first has kept us focused, and putting people first has built trust and longevity. We learned that success is best when it’s shared, and that real legacy isn’t measured in sales—it’s measured in impact.

If there’s one thing we want the world to know, it’s that Bandzlandia isn’t about us—it’s about what’s possible when people believe in something greater than themselves. We’re here to prove that with faith, family, and the right team, you can build something that not only lasts—but changes lives

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
f my best friend came to town, I’d make sure they experienced the real South Florida—where creativity, culture, and connection come together in the dopest way possible. From art and fashion to food and beaches, we’d hit every corner that makes this place unforgettable.

Day 1: Fresh Fits Flagship Experience
We’d kick things off at Fresh Fits, our exclusive members-only retail partner and flagship Bandzlandia location. It’s not your average store—inside you’ll find a curated fashion experience with some of the hottest up-and-coming streetwear brands. There’s also a full liquor bar in the front and a dispensary in the back, making it a true all-in-one lifestyle lounge. Whether you’re shopping, sipping, or sparking up—it sets the tone for the entire trip.

⸻

Day 2: Miami Beach + Wynwood Art District
The next day, we’re headed straight to Miami Beach. We’d chill oceanside, take in the energy of South Beach, and soak up the sun. After that, we’d cruise over to the Wynwood Art District—home of the iconic Wynwood Walls, vibrant murals, galleries, and live creativity at every corner. We’d grab a bite from a local food truck and vibe with the street performers.

⸻

Day 3: Mad Arts Gallery + Las Olas After Dark
Mid-week calls for inspiration. We’d visit the Mad Arts Gallery in Dania Beach—a futuristic space where tech meets creativity in wild and beautiful ways. At night, we’d dress up and head to Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. With high-end restaurants, rooftop bars, and live music, it’s perfect for a more upscale night out.

⸻

Day 4: La Brasa in Pompano + Chill Day
Now it’s time to eat good. We’d head over to La Brasa in Pompano Beach—a lowkey local favorite for authentic Spanish food at unbeatable prices. Trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve had their rotisserie chicken and tostones. Afterward, it’s all about relaxing—hanging with the fam, catching a game, or building out future ideas in true Bandzlandia fashion.

⸻

Day 5: Outdoor Vibes + Family Cookout
We’d take it outdoors—maybe a boat day, beach picnic, or a trip to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. Then we’d fire up the grill, bring out the kids, and invite the team over. Real moments, real people, real connection.

⸻

Day 6: Entrepreneur Energy + Creative Spaces
We’d hit a few of our favorite coffee shops and local co-working spots to tap into the entrepreneurial flow. Whether we’re planning new drops, sketching ideas, or just dreaming big over iced lattes—it’s all about feeding the spirit.

⸻

Day 7: Sunrise, Brunch, and Vision Talk
To close the trip, we’d catch the sunrise at the beach, followed by brunch at a laid-back local spot. Before the goodbyes, we’d sit down for a heart-to-heart—reconnecting with our purpose, sharing our goals, and talking about how we’ll keep building this dream together.

⸻

South Florida is more than palm trees and parties—it’s passion, art, hustle, and heart. That’s the energy we’re tapped into at Bandzlandia. If you’re around us for a week, expect to leave inspired, recharged, and ready to take your vision to the next level.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, we want to give all glory to God. None of this would be possible without His grace, guidance, and favor. He has opened doors we never imagined and carried us through every challenge along the way.

We also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to our wives, who have been our rock since day one. Their unwavering support, patience, and belief in the vision—through every sacrifice of time, money, and energy—have allowed us to chase this dream with full hearts.

To our children, thank you for being our motivation and our “why.” You inspire us to push for more and create something meaningful that will one day serve as a legacy.

To our brand partners—our extended family—thank you for trusting us with your dreams. Your passion and belief in this community have helped shape Bandzlandia into what it is today.

And finally, to all the vendors and collaborators behind the scenes—thank you for your role in helping us bring our vision to life each and every day.

Bandzlandia is a reflection of faith, family, and the power of community. We’re beyond grateful for everyone who has walked this journey with us
