Enya is an Irish singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. She began her musical career in 1980, when she briefly joined her family band Clannad before leaving to perform solo. She gained wider recognition for her music in the 1986 BBC series The Celts. Shortly afterwards, her 1988 album Watermark launched her to further international fame and she became well-known for her distinguishing sound, characterized by voice-layering, folk melodies and ethereal vibrations.
Enya continued to enjoy steady success during the 1990s and 2000s; her 2000 album A Day Without Rain sold 15 million copies, and became the top selling album of the 2000s in the US. She was named the world's best selling female artist of 2001. She is Ireland's best-selling solo musician and is officially the country's second-largest musical export after the band U2.
"My influences are with Irish music, church music and classical music", she said in a 1997 interview.
