Exploring Life & Business with Bryan Holder of Love is Love Entertainment, LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryan Holder.

Hi Bryan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey started with a simple idea: Love is Love is a connection. In 2015, I founded Love is Love Entertainment, LLC with the vision of building something positive that could bring people together through creativity, culture, and entrepreneurship. Over time, that vision grew beyond entertainment and developed into multiple brands and business ideas that all share the same foundation love, community, purpose, and connection.

One of those ventures is LLELLC Clothing, my street style and fashion brand. LLELLC Clothing, also known to our customers as the Love is Love Brand, represents the fashion and creative side of the company through original apparel and collections. While LLELLC Clothing is the name of the clothing line, ‘Love is Love Brand’ is the identity and message customers see represented throughout many of our designs.

Fashion has always been another way for me to express creativity and turn an idea into something people can actually wear and connect with. I’ve continued developing the brand, creating original designs and collections while learning the business side of fashion along the way. Going from traveling the world in entertainment, to starting my own company, developing LLELLC Clothing and the Love is Love Brand, creating products, and most recently bringing Love is Love Kitchen directly to the community…

My entrepreneurial journey also expanded into food and wellness through Love is Love Kitchen and Love is Love Juice. What started with my interest in making fresh juices and creating healthier options eventually became another extension of the brand. Love is Love Kitchen allowed me to connect my Caribbean and family influences with my passion for bringing people together through food.

A major milestone came in 2026 when Love is Love Kitchen became an official food vendor during the Labor Day festivities on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Seeing the banner up, the grill going, my family working alongside me, customers enjoying the food, and people coming back for more was a special moment. It took months of preparation permits, insurance, equipment, menu planning, branding, transportation, and plenty of problem solving but seeing everything come together made the work worth it.

Entrepreneurship is also part of my family history. My Honduran great-grandparents on my mother’s side of the family were entrepreneurs who sold food and drinks, while my Trinidadian grandparents also had an entrepreneurial spirit, selling food and sewing materials.
As I’ve continued building my own businesses, I’ve realized that some of what I’m doing today connects back to the generations before me. Their entrepreneurial spirit is part of the foundation I continue to build upon today.

The road hasn’t been perfect. I’ve had ideas that needed to be adjusted, setbacks, long workdays, and moments where I had to figure things out as I went. At the same time, I’ve maintained my career while continuing to invest my time, energy, and resources into building my businesses.

For me, this journey is bigger than selling a product or a plate of food. I want people to have an experience with the brand. I want to meet my customers, talk with them, create positive energy, and build genuine relationships. That personal connection is what Love is Love represents.

My faith has also played an important role throughout the journey. I believe everything happens on God’s timing. I continue to work, stay consistent, learn from every experience, and trust the process.

Today, I’m still building. Love is Love Entertainment, LLELLC Clothing, Love is Love Juice, and Love is Love Kitchen are different expressions of one overall vision. I’m excited about how far the journey has come, but I also feel like this is only the beginning.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many entrepreneurs, one of my biggest challenges has been financing the vision. There were times when business slowed down simply because I didn’t have the financial resources to execute certain ideas the way I wanted to. When you’re building independently, you quickly learn that having a great idea is one thing, but funding that idea, maintaining operations, purchasing inventory, marketing, and continuing to grow are completely different challenges.

There were moments when I had to put certain ideas on hold, scale things back, or move slower than I originally planned. At times, I was investing my own money while also working a full-time job and handling my everyday responsibilities. That taught me patience, discipline, and the importance of working with what I have instead of waiting for everything to be perfect.

Another challenge has been learning the different sides of business as I go. From branding and marketing to permits, insurance, taxes, inventory, vendors, and customer service, there is always something new to learn. Some lessons came from mistakes, while others came from simply going through the process.

But I never allowed a slow period to mean the end of the vision. Sometimes I had to pause, regroup, learn, and come back with a better plan. I’ve learned that entrepreneurship isn’t always about how fast you can grow; sometimes it’s about having the consistency and determination to keep going when things aren’t moving as quickly as you would like.

Those struggles have helped shape how I approach business today. I’m still learning, still building, and still investing in the vision. Every obstacle has given me another lesson that I can carry into the next chapter of Love is Love Entertainment, LLC

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Love is Love Entertainment, LLC ?
Love is Love Entertainment, LLC is more than one type of business. It is a creative umbrella built around music, fashion, food, wellness, culture, and most importantly, connection.

Before becoming an entrepreneur, a major part of my foundation came through music. From around 2011 to 2015, I performed as a hype man and had the opportunity to travel internationally, perform at festivals, and experience the entertainment industry from a completely different perspective. I traveled to places including the UK, China, Italy, Germany, Russia, Australia, Austria, Vienna, Bratislava, and several other destinations.

I also had the opportunity to experience major festivals such as Glastonbury Festival and be on tour alongside artists including Theophilus London, Mark Ronson and Mary J. Blige Being exposed to different countries, cultures, audiences, fashion, music, and ways of doing business opened my eyes. I started realizing that I didn’t only want to participate in someone else’s vision I wanted to build something of my own.

That experience became part of the inspiration behind founding Love is Love Entertainment, LLC in 2015. Over the years, Love is Love Entertainment, LLC has grown into several different ventures. LLELLC Clothing represents the fashion and creative side of the brand through original apparel and collections. Love is Love Juice represents wellness and fresh, natural juices. Love is Love Kitchen brings the brand into food and hospitality,
inspired by the Caribbean influences of my Honduran and Trinidadian family roots. Those influences come to life through food, grilling, vending, and community-centered event experiences.

What sets the brand apart is that I don’t look at these businesses as completely separate ideas. They are all connected. Love is Love is a connection. Someone might first discover us through music, wear our clothing, try one of our juices, or meet us while we’re serving food at an event. No matter where that first interaction happens, I want them to experience the same positive energy behind the brand.

One of the things I’m most proud of is seeing an idea that began years ago continue to evolve into something tangible. Going from traveling the world in entertainment, to starting my own company, developing clothing, creating products, and most recently bringing Love is Love Kitchen directly to the community has shown me that a vision doesn’t have to be limited to one lane.

I want readers to understand that Love is Love entertainment, LLC isn’t just something I’m selling It’s something I’m building. It’s a lifestyle, a creative platform, and a way of connecting people through different experiences.

Music introduced me to the world. Traveling expanded my vision. Entrepreneurship gave me the opportunity to build my own. And today, everything comes back to that simple idea that started it all:

Love is Love a connection.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
I definitely didn’t get here alone. I’ve been blessed to have people around me who believed in the vision, supported me, encouraged me, and contributed in different ways throughout the journey.

One of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders has been my fiancée, Makeda Paul. She has been there through many stages of the journey and has always encouraged me to keep pushing forward. She is also an entrepreneur herself and owns a marketing agency called Counting Coconuts, LLC. Her knowledge and experience in marketing have been a tremendous help with my businesses, from sharing ideas and providing another perspective to helping me think about how the brands are presented to the public.

My family has also played a major role. My brother Poppy believed in my vision from day one. He didn’t just support me with words he invested in my company and put something behind his belief in what I was building. That has always meant a lot to me.

My mom and dad have been important supporters throughout the journey as well. Some of my cousins have consistently shown love and supported what I’m building, especially Althia, who deserves a special shoutout.

I also have to recognize my best friend Saquan my A1 from day one, who I consider my brother. Having people around you who knew you before the businesses, the brands, and everything else and who still believe in where you’re going is something I don’t take for granted.

As far as traditional business mentors, I really didn’t have one person guiding me or giving me a blueprint for building Love is Love Entertainment, LLC. A lot of what I learned came from experience. I learned by doing, making mistakes, asking questions, observing other people, and building connections through music and traveling.

In a way, the journey itself became one of my greatest mentors. Every country I visited, every person I connected with through music, every business experience, every setback, and every opportunity taught me something that I could eventually apply to my own vision.

So when I think about the success and growth of Love is Love, I give credit to the people who supported me, invested in me, encouraged me, worked alongside me, and simply believed in the vision before they could see the finished picture. Love is Love is a connection, and those connections have been an important part of building everything you see today.
