Enya (born Eithne Ní Bhraonáin; Irish pronunciation: [ˈɛnʲə nʲiː ˈvˠɾˠiːn̪ˠaːnʲ], anglicised as Enya Brennan; 17 May 1961) is an Irish singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter.

Enya began her musical career in 1980, when she briefly joined her family band Clannad before leaving to performsolo. She gained wider recognition for her music in the 1986 BBC series The Celts. Shortly afterwards, her 1988 albumWatermark propelled her to further international fame and she became known for her distinctive sound, characterised by voice-layering, folk melodies, synthesised backdrops and ethereal reverberations. She has performed in 10 languages.

Enya continued to enjoy steady success during the 1990s and 2000s; her 2000 album A Day Without Rain sold 15 million copies, and became the top selling new age album of the 2000s in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[5]She received the world's best-selling female award at the 2001 World Music Awards. She is Ireland's best-selling solo musician. Her record sales stand at more than 75 million worldwide, including over 26.5 million in album sales in the US, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. Her work has earned her four Grammy Awards and an Academy Award nomination.

1988–91: International breakthrough, Watermark and Shepherd Moons

Enya was quoted as saying: "The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me." Enya also said in an interview paraphrased, "Watermark has in its theme searching, longing, of reaching out for an answer. The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey, which is the way I would describe this album." Enya achieved a breakthrough in her career in 1988 with the album Watermark , which featured the hit song "Orinoco Flow " (sometimes incorrectly known as "Sail Away"). "Orinoco Flow", reported to be named after Orinoco Studios (now Miloco Studios ), where it was conceived, topped the charts in the United Kingdom and peaked at number 2 in Germany. The Watermark album sold eleven million copies.

The surprise success of Watermark actually led to a delay in the completion of Enya's third single, Storms in Africa because she was busy travelling the world to promote the album. Storms in Africa was re-recorded for the single and the deadline was missed. Record company WEA used TV adverts to promote Storms in Africa by reminding audiences of Enya's previous two hits.

Three years later she followed with another hit album, Shepherd Moons, which sold twelve million copies and earned Enya her first Grammy Award. Shepherd Moons is also her longest charting album to date, spending 238 weeks on the Billboard 200. The songs "On Your Shore" and "Exile" (from Watermark) and "Epona" (from Enya) were featured in the 1991 film L.A. Story. "Ebudæ" is also featured on the soundtrack to the Robin Williams feature film Toys, while the 1990 feature filmGreen Card features "River", "Watermark", and "Storms in Africa". "Book of Days" was featured prominently in the movie Far and Away, with an English-lyric version created for the film then replacing the old Irish language version on all pressings of the Shepherd Moons album from 1993 onwards. In 1993, her recording of "Marble Halls" from Shepherd Moons was featured in the Martin Scorsese film, The Age of Innocence.
