OUR FOUNDER:
Enrique Melendez
My journey to creating S.T.I.X. Academy began in a season when I needed healing myself. After my accident, I found restoration through three anchors that changed my life: music, faith, and a support group that became my community. Drumming helped quiet the noise, faith rebuilt my identity, and the people around me reminded me I wasn’t walking alone.
What I discovered in that season is what I want others to experience here—a place where rhythm becomes therapy, where faith strengthens purpose, and where community surrounds you with encouragement and belonging.
STIX is more than an academy; it’s a space where healing is shared, hope is restored, and no one has to rebuild alone.Â
