Together they honed a lush, layered, multilingual sound and scored a massive hit in 1988 with “Orinoco Flow” from the album Watermark, which blended Enya’s otherworldly voice with slick production and a hint of Celtic undertones. Two years later, she teamed up with manager and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan, to launch what would become a mega-successful solo career. The Irish singer born Eithne Ní Bhraonáin in 1961 began her musical career far more modestly as a keyboardist in her family’s Celtic folk band, Clannad, in 1980. Thanks to her preternatural gift for weaving ambient textures and multilingual vocals into towering songs, Enya has become one of the most successful Celtic musicians of all time, having sold an estimated 75 million records worldwide and scored four Grammys, five Billboard Music awards, and an Oscar® and Golden Globe nomination.
