Enya
Is Enya her real or just artistic name?
Enya's first name is spelled Eithne and pronounced "ehn-ya". She chose to adapt the spelling because it was difficult to pronounce for non-Gaelic speakers.
The shortened version appeared for the first time in the closing credits of The Frog Prince where Enya was credited as Enya Ni Bhraonain.
Listen to Enya pronouncing her full name.

What was Enya's big break?
Enya became famous with the 1988 release of the single Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) which
suprisingly climbed to No. 1 in the UK chart. Enya considers the song
to be very important as it introduced her worldwide. It was
the last song written for Watermark which wasn't planned
to have any singles at all.

Does Enya tour? Where can I see her in concert?
No, Enya doesn't tour. She toured with her former band Clannad for 2 years in the late 80s and
performed live on some TV shows (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Academy Awards) but doesn't do solo concerts.
Enya's been asked about bringing her music to stage every time a new album was released since Watermark in 1988.
She has never said that she didn't want to do concerts, she just never did any. The usual replies go along the lines of "I find performing
live is something I truly miss. When you go
on a stage the feedback is tremendous and you really get a sense of how you're affecting people." or
"We're always talking about how exciting it would be to do a live performance of this music.
But it has to be the right moment."
Related searches: enya concert, enya live, enya tour
Why Enya doesn't tour?
After Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) became a major hit the sales
of Watermark were so high that there was no need to further
promote the album. Therefore Enya got straight back to the studio. The other reason is the complexity of Enya's sound:
it'd be very difficult to reproduce it live.
"I didn't know about the longevity of my career, so we weren't thinking about hiring a full orchestra
and choir to play all the different parts. So I just dedicated myself to making music in the studio." -Enya, 2001
How many records has Enya sold?
A lot.
Enya is the most successful Irish solo artist ever, she has sold
more than 75 million albums, in average over 10,000 discs per day.
Her best-selling album to date is A Day Without Rain with
more than 15 million units sold worldwide. Amarantine sold
over 4 million discs in its first year of sale.
Who is The trio? Who are Nicky and Roma Ryan?
The trio refers to Enya, Roma and Nicky. Roma Ryan is Enya's lyricist, Nicky Ryan is her sound engineer/producer.
Eithne herself stated that without them "Enya" wouldn't exist. Nicky and Roma
are a married couple and have 2 daughters named Ebony and Persia.

What is Aigle?
Aigle is the name of Enya's recording studio.
Aigle means eagle in French and this is how you pronounce it. However, Aigle can also refer to one of the goddesses of the evening and golden light of sunset in Greek mythology. Roma mentions her in the Willows on the Water liner notes, so she must be familiar with the myth: Aigle was one of the Hesperides, who were guardians to the tree that bore apples of gold. When the Minyans approached them, imploring them to reveal a river so that they could quench their thirst, the Hesperides metamorphosed into trees, Aigle becoming a willow. She was the one to show the Minyans where to find water.

Does Enya really live in a castle?
Back in 1997, Enya bought a small Victorian castle located in Killiney,
Dublin and moved to live there after a major reconstruction.
She renamed it to Manderley after Maxim de Winter's house in the Daphne du Maurier's book Rebecca (Enya has stated
that it is one of her favourite books). The castle is very lovely and overlooks the Irish sea and the Wicklow Mountains.

Is Enya involved in charity projects?
Enya supports many charitable causes – Temple Street Children’s Hospital, Dublin and
the New York City Uniformed Firefighters Association’s Widows and Children Fund are just
two of the charities which have benefited from her generosity. In 2008, Enya also autographed
and donated two hundred copies of her album And Winter Came... to United Way Taiwan.
Enya Donates Royalties
April 23, 2003 - Her Only Time single became the September 11th healing theme song for many people and now
Enya is giving back. She's donating the earnings from the sale of that single to the Uniform Firefighters
Association's Widows' and Children's Fund. That's a total of just over $461,000. Enya says
she hopes that in some small way those funds can help the families of fire fighters in the aftermath of 9/11.
The money is set aside for survivors of firefighters killed in the line of duty, including those who responded
to the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. She also donated $100,000 to the New York Fire Department
after the 9/11 attacks.
Enya hits right notes for Santa
December 23, 2002 - Donegal singing superstar Enya has ensured that a group of terminally-ill children will
fly to Lapland today to visit Santa. The former member of Clannad was moved by the children's plight while she
listened to a late-night show on a Dublin radio station. Con Murphy of the Children to Lapland Appeal said that
the project was in danger because of a cash shortage. Enya contacted her managers, Nicky and Roma Ryan and
Nicky rang the radio station to say that they would give 20,000 euro to the charity.

I love Enya's clothes - who designs them?
Back in 1992, Enya said "I like the drama of clothes. If I had the time I'd change my clothes
three times a day." When asked about her favourite fashion designers, she mentioned Jasper Conrad,
John Galliano and Maria Grachvogel. She's also know to have worn pieces by Louise Kennedy, Elizabeth Emanuel, Claire Garvey, Tyrrell and Brennan
(the red dress Enya wore to the Oscars in 2002), Ciaran Sweeney (the celtic dress Enya wore to WMA in 2006), John Rocha and Jen Kelly.
You can often see her wearing Baccarat and Lalique crystal pendants in various colours too.

Is Enya married? Does she have a boyfriend?
Enya is not married. People sometimes get confused by the wedding band and Claddagh ring she wears.
They both belonged to her grandmother who passed away.
"In my lifestyle it is difficult to have a relationship. Who will want to share a woman with music?
Three years ago I was unsure about myself if I have set my priorities correctly or not. But as I heard this positive music (A Day Without Rain),
I just knew: I feel good." -Enya, 2000
"This album (A Day Without Rain) is positive because that's where I'm at in my life. Three years ago, I was asking whether I should take time out to have a family.
I was putting pressure on myself and it was a terrible thing to do. Then I decided I wasn't going to pressurise myself and I've gone the route I wanted to go.
I wouldn't change anything I've done over the past few years. That I'm not married and don't have children has been my choice. I don't feel I've missed out
in any way. At school other girls talked about getting married, but it was never on my list of things to do. I was looking at something else. Actually what
I went through wasn't as traumatic as I'm making out. I didn't think that much about it. I had to stop putting the pressure on myself,
because of relationships coming and going, but if relationships aren't working that means they're not right. That's what the single Only Time is about."
-Enya, 2000
"After a bad day in the studio I'm dark and difficult to be with, I want and need to be on my own.
I ask you, what sort of man would be able to adapt to someone like me?...
Relationships have always clashed with my lifestyle.
It suits me to live alone because I’m not someone
who can break off from writing a song, go away for a weekend, then
come back. When I'm working I have no sense of humour: I'm
serious, a worrier… Falling madly in love and getting married
would be the most horrific thing that could happen.
My first love and
my present love is music. My affairs are with melody and words and
beautiful sounds. If finding Mr. Right happens, then it happens; if it
doesn't happen, then it doesn’t happen. No problem."
-Enya, 2005
"Not at the moment. It doesn’t go with my work. It’s very difficult to find someone who understands my engagement for the music. (..)
In some periods of my life, I had partners. But I find long relationships...well, how can I say it without appearing strange? I’m too much devoted to my music.
I know that some people think that it sounds sad, but believe me, I’m happy." -Enya, 2005
"I have never come close to being married or engaged. I was with someone eight years ago when
I questioned whether I wanted the pressure of being married or having children. I always felt that
if pregnancy was to happen, it would happen; if it didn't, it didn't...I have security,
I don't need a man in my life." -Enya, 2006

Is it true that Enya had a stalker?
Unfortunately yes. Since the success of Watermark, Enya had to deal with numerous stalking incidents.
In October 2005, a stalker broke into her house, tied up a maid, and spent two hours combing the castle for Enya.
A week earlier, another man broke into a separate six-bedroom abode.
"Somehow, they get an obsession with either the music or with me, and that's something that started, day one, with 'Watermark.'
So you just have to be wary of this. But I don't give it a lot of space. The next day I was right back in the studio. I don't sit there,
not living my life because of it." -Enya, 2005

Music
When will the next Enya album come out?
"I'm a slow writer and success hasn't changed that." -Enya
There are quite long gaps between albums (from 2 to 5 years) and no one can predict
when the next cd will be relased.

Does Enya compose all her songs herself?
Yes, most of them. Enya's done only several arrangements of traditional
songs: Marble Halls is originally a piece from Balfe's
opera The Bohemian Girl, How Can I Keep from Singing?
is a traditional Shaker's hymn, Oíche chiúin, Adeste Fideles, We wish you a Merry
Christmas and O Come, O Come Emmanuel are Christmas carols.
Who are the people singing on Enya's recordings? Does she use samples?
There is no choir, all you hear is Enya. The typical trademark sound or choir of one
is created by layering Enya's voice up to hundreds of times. Enya does not sample her voice, she records all the layers separately.

Does Enya use guest musicians?
Enya usually performs all the music instruments herself but sometimes she uses guest musicians. "My main instrument is the piano, that's what I compose on, and then I play a little strings, and that would be blended in with synthesisers,
and then percussion." -Enya, 1995

Did Enya dedicate any of her songs to
somebody?
Aldebaran is dedicated to a movie director Ridley Scott
because Roma Ryan is a fan of his movie Blade Runner.
Smaointe and Na Laetha Geal M'Óige are dedicated to Enya's grandparents.
The Amarantine album is dedicated to the memory of Tony McAuley,
producer of The Celts BBC series. Journey Of The Angels is dedicated to Tim Royes and
My! My! Time Flies! is dedicated to the late Jimmy Faulkner.

Did Enya compose the music for Titanic?

Has Enya composed any movie music?
Yes, she composed the score for The Frog Prince (1983) and
the music for the BBC series The Celts (1986). The
first version of Book of Days, sung in Gaelic, was
re-recorded in English for Far & Away. Another songs
composed for a movie were Aníron (Theme for
Aragorn and Arwen) and May It Be, both used in
The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). All other songs which
appeared in movies were borrowed from the albums. See Soundtracks for the complete list.

What about all those rap/hip-hop songs featuring Enya?
Enya isn't the one rapping, she's just humming in a very Enya-like way.
The song that keeps on being sampled by rap and hip-hop bands over and over again is
Boadicea. I have no idea why but they all seem to go crazy for it.
First, The Fugees sampled the song without Enya's prior permission on the
track Ready or Not featured on their album The
Score and were sued by WEA. But their label Sony agreed to add
a sticker to all existing copies of The Score with the
words: "We are very grateful to Enya for her kindness and
consideration in allowing us of her track 'Boadicea,' from her
album The Celts, which appears on the title 'Ready or Not,' which
was used initially without her permission." Mario Winans' hit single
I Don't Wanna Know from the album Hurt No More
(2004) features Boadicea, too, but Enya was properly
credited. The Pirates sampled Mario's song, (therefore also
Boadicea) on their response to I Don't Wanna Know
titled You Should Really Know. Now you know the story.

Is there any difference between
Only If You Want To and Only If...?
Only If You Want To is an early promo version of
Only If..., the most notable difference is that it doesn't
contain the French lyrics. It was released only on a very limited
number of Japanese The Best of Enya promo discs. You can imagine
that those discs are rather pricey and not easy ot get now.
What's the difference between the
albums ENYA and The Celts?
The Celts (1992) is a remastered version of ENYA
(1987). Besides the covers and booklets, the only difference is in
the 11th track. The Celts contains a longer version titled
Portrait (Out of the Blue) (3:15) instead of
Portrait (1:23) featured on ENYA.
Why do Exile and As Baile
sound similar?
As Baile is a vocalised version of Exile. It was recorded
as the first but Rob Dickins suggested that the piece should have
lyrics in style of Wilfred Owens's poetry rather than the mouth music which Enya began with.
Why do Eclipse and Deireadh An
Tuath sound similar?
That's because Eclipse is Deireadh An Tuath
played backwards!
As pillow words are weaving...
What language does Enya sing in?
Besides most-used English, there are songs in different languages,
mainly in Enya's mother tongue Irish Gaelic. Both Sindarin and
Quenya are fictional languages created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his
books. Loxian is a fictional language created by Roma Ryan.

Is the song Orinoco Flow named
after the river Orinoco?
It's a play on words as Watermark was recorded in Orinoco Studios, 36 Leroy Street, London.
Built in the mid-80s, Orinoco Studios quickly made its mark by producing Enya's groundbreaking album Watermark.
In 1997 Orinoco produced more Number One albums than any other studio in Britain apart from the legendary EMI Abbey Road.
What's The Story Morning Glory by Oasis was partly recorded and entirely mixed at Orinoco, and has since become
the second highest selling album ever in the UK. In recent years the studio has become a second home to The Chemical
Brothers who have made all their records here. Now it's run by the Miloco empire of cutting edge recording studios and called The Pool.

What are the Shepherd Moons?
Pandora and Prometheus - two moons numbered 1980S26 and 1980S27, orbiting the outer ring of
Saturn. They are called shepherd moons because they keep them particles of the planet's ring together.
They orbit near the outer edges of rings or within gaps in the rings. Their gravity serves to maintain a
sharply defined edge to the ring; material that drifts closer to the shepherd moon's orbit is either deflected
back into the body of the ring, ejected from the system, or accreted onto the moon itself.
Who are Miss Clare and Miss Quinn?
Characters from the books 'No Holly for Miss Quinn' (1976) and
'Miss Clare Remembers' (1962) by Mrs. Dora Saint, also known as
Miss Read.
Who is The Sandman?
The Sandman is a folktale figure, he brings sleep and sprinkles
gold sand in children's eyes, so that they wake with grit in the
corners of their eyes.
What is Aldebaran?
Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri) is the brightest star in the
constellation Taurus and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky.
The name Aldebaran is derived from Arabic signifying "the follower", as it
appears to follow the Pleiades, Seven Sisters in the sky. Because of its location
in the head of Taurus, it's often called the Bull's Eye.
What is written on the wall behind Enya on The Celts cover?
The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot.
(Proverbs 10:7)
What are the characters in the Amarantine booklet? What is Loxian?
Three songs on Amarantine are sung in a fictional language Loxian created by Enya's lyricist Roma Ryan.
The idea arose after Roma wrote lyrics in Elvish for The Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship
of the Ring movie. The main influence is from the sounds that Enya sings while the songs don't have
actual lyrics yet. The first piece recorded in Loxian was Water shows the hidden heart after
it didn't work in English,
Gaelic and Latin. At the time, the language was called Errakan, what in Gaelic means more-less "the
people that come from the Moon" but Roma and Enya found the name Loxian more appealing.
The Loxian song:
Less Than A Pearl - Heah Viiya
The River Sings - Ea Hymm Llay Hey
Water Shows The Hidden Heart - Syoombrraya
"The Loxians, are much like us. They're in space, somewhere in the night. They're looking out, they're mapping the stars, and wondering if there is anyone else out there. It's to do with that concept: are we alone in the universe?" -Enya

How can I buy Enya music videos? Is there an Enya dvd or blu-ray?
The best way to get Enya's videos is to purchase the 2009 cd/dvd The
Very Best of Enya (region 0) that includes 13 music videos and 3 documentaries.
The pre-Watermark videos are available on The Celts - Rich Traditions & Ancient Myths dvd (region 1).
If you want to get the original 2001 Enya: The Video Collection (NTSC Region 2 or PAL Region 2/3/4/5/6) that contains
Exile, How Can I Keep from Singing? and a performance
of Book of Days not included on the new dvd, you should be very careful.
There was only a limited number of copies released and the dvd was soon withdrawn
from the market. Soon afterwards, as the official copies quickly sold out and there was no region 1 release,
a great number of bootleg pressings appeared.
So before buying the dvd, make sure it is an original version. Here are some hints that might help you spot a genuine release: the official dvd is black
and housed in a clear plastic or cardboard box with a green round sticker on the front.
There is a picture booklet included. If you see a copy in a black plastic box, containing
a picture disc and no booklet, it definitely is a bootleg.
So far, none of Enya's videos have been released in the blu-ray format.

What are the rarest Enya collectibles?
There are many Enya items that are considered rare and are very hard to find. They would be especially
the limited presentation boxes and promo items given out at the album launches (e.g. Paint the Sky with Stars
promotional cd+cassette in a metal tin full of paper stars and And Winter Came... promo sampler
with a Waterford crystal snowflake). Some releases are rare because they contain otherwise unavailable
tracks (e.g. Best of Enya Japanese promo including Only If You Want To, Touch Travel
cassette including The Solar Wind or Someone said goodbye USA promo including the remix
of the song). There are also many rare promo releases from all over the world, your best bet would be to
look through the promotional and miscellanious section of the official Enya discography.
