Enya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Enya (born Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin [4] on 17 May 1961, Gweedore, County Donegal, sometimes presented in the media as Enya Brennan) is an Irish singer, instrumentalist and composer. She began her musical career in 1980 when she briefly joined her family band Clannad, before leaving to pursue her solo career. Her album Watermark, which was released in 1988, propelled her to international recognition and Enya became known for her unique sound, which was characterized by voice-layering, folk melodies, synthesized backdrops and ethereal reverberations.[5]

She continued to enjoy steady success during the 1990s, while her 2000 album A Day Without Rain achieved tremendous record sales (15 million)[6] and she was named the World's biggest selling female artist of 2001. She is Ireland's best-selling solo artist and is officially the country's second biggest musical export, after the band U2,[7] her record sales stand at 75 million as of 2008. [8] Her work has earned her, among other things, an Academy Award nomination and she is known for performing in ten different languages during her career thus far. Enya is an approximate transcription of how Eithne is pronounced in her native Irish, in the Donegal dialect.[9]
