Biography

Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin, better known as Enya, was born on 17 May 1961 in a small village of the Gweedore region in the northwestern part of Ireland. She started her musical career as singer and keyboardist in Clannad, a band formed by her father and elder brothers to play Irish folk music. After the break up of this group, Enya moved to Dublin to develop her solo career. She became known to audience after playing soundtrack for The Frog Prince (1985). In a year, she was offered to do the same for the BBC documentary on the Celtic history and culture. This work appeared so impressive that the BBC managers found it reasonable to release a compilation of Enya’s songs, named after her. It was a good commercial mover to open a new independent and talented performer. In 1988 she released her second album, Watermark, made in the same vein as the first studio work. It was an extremely good seller and ran platinum in 14 countries.
