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

The waiting for Shepherd Moons took as long as almost two years
Enya worked hard and responsibly on the new material and made an album just as perfect as she had expected it to be
This one contained the song Book of Days (Far and Away), featured on the soundtrack to Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman starring
This song was released in two versions, with lyrics in Gaelic and English
Shepherd Moons led the British charts and enlarged Enya’s audience significantly
This release was followed by a long break in the singer’s studio activity
In 1987, The Celts was released
It was not a fresh studio work, but a renewed version of the Enya album with slightly modified tracks
Her next album, The Memory of Trees, was finally presented to the listeners only in 1995
Enya remained in the frames of the style chosen for the first studio works and made this album in accordance with the audience’s expectations
She was selected as the best New Age artist and received two Grammies for Shepherd Moons, and The Memory of Trees

Meanwhile, Enya was successful at combining production of her own albums and making soundtracks for movies
Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best Of Enya with Stars was released in 1997 to present Enya’s best compositions and make it easier for the fans to
wait three more years for the new album to come
A Day Without Rain was recorded within the limits of the same style, yet different from those done before
This album had critical acclaim and recognition among listeners and earned Enya another Grammy fair enough
May It Be, a song written exclusively for The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, brought her Oscar and Golden Globe
Enya was also prized with three World Music Awards as the best selling singer, best selling New Age artist, and best selling Irish artist
After another long pause, Enya released her following LP in 2005 under the title Amarantine
The lyrics of its songs were written in English, Japanese and the invented language, Loxian
It won another Grammy and entered the To 10 in the USA and the UK
In 2007, Enya revealed her plans to make her new album devoted to the Christmas and winter themes

Enya’s new full-length studio album And Winter Came... was released on November 7, 2008
The songs on the album primarily had the Christmas and winter themes
The album consisted of 12 tracks: ten original compositions in English; the single Oiche Chiuin sung in Gaelic and Oh Come and Oh Come Emmanuel in
English and Latin
A couple of tracks from the new album were reworked versions of songs that Enya released in the past, such as the title track And Winter Came
In 2009 the compilation The Very Best of Enya, which included the best compositions of the singer was issued
