Enya described herself in three words: "perfectionist, honest and romantic"
Enya was born on May, 2007 196 17 in Dore Village, Donegal, Guido Province, northwest Ireland. Her original name is Eitneni Bhraonain, ranking fourth among nine brothers and sisters. Her father Leo is the head of slieve foy, a famous Irish walking band. Enya majored in piano and classical music at school.
1980 clannad (clannad Family Choir), composed of Mary, Kieran, Paul, Patrick and Uncle Noel Duggan, joined as a keyboard player at the suggestion of the agent Fahitner O'Kelly. Clannad is an Irish tradition. At the same time, a musical group with American music beats, jazz and a sense of the new century, the word clannad means family in the hometown dialect. Enya participated in two albums, Crannull and fuaim, and showed off the skills of electronic organ and electronic synthesizer besides chorus.
Enya left clannad and moved to artane in northern Dublin after her European tour in February 1982. Roma Ryan) * * * lives in one place. Nicky was a sound engineer in the early days of clannad, and later became the agent of boomtown rats because of fachtna o'kelly. Nicky took over clannad completely, and Nicky built aigle recording studio in his house. Although Fahitner O'Kelly no longer acted as Crannard's agent, he advised Enya to play music for the film wholeheartedly. Roma gave Enya's tape to David Puttnam, the producer of Chariots of Fire. When putnam heard this, she asked Enya to write a romantic dream for the film The Frog Prince in 1960s. Enya often plays music with Roland Juno 60 electronic synthesizer or Kuzweil sampler made in Germany, and then adds piano and sound, while Nicky is in charge of the final production project. Before entering new age music's artistic conception, Enya had a strong interest in Irish Gothic music and national music.
1986, Enya created music for a documentary "Celts", which recorded the civilization of Gource in 2700 years. The music completed in ten months was deeply loved by the bbc, and the bbc decided to officially rename Enya (* 1992) The Celts from Gource and reissue it.
After the release of 1986, the album Enya jumped to the second place in the Irish charts, second only to u2' s album Joshua Tree. In the works, Enya independently created 80 kinds of individual spiritual timbres, embossed the artistic conception and feelings of the earth with water-based soft and dreamy notes, filled with warm feelings with a light and transparent lullaby style, and her broad vision was as delicate as if it were not disturbed by aesthetic management, creating a mysterious and legendary movement rooted in Ireland's geographical landscape. Nicky and Roma are co-producers. Besides Gus, there are Welsh and Latin in the music. Only three movements were assisted by musicians, including patrick halling, a classical violinist who worked with steve howe, a member of yes. Liam o'flynn, a founding member of planxty Orchestra and a bagpiper; And arty mcglynn, a guitarist in van morrison. After Enya, Enya performed for singer Sinead O 'Connor's album The Lion and the Cobra.
1988, the first album "Watermark Watermark" released in the international market, after being appreciated by Warner Music, caused a sensation all over the world, jumped to the top 5 in the British gold list, and won the title of billboard new age music album list. This album has a red magic for years.
1992 and 1993, "Watermark Watermark" respectively occupied the fifth and second place in the year-end list of billboard New Age Music Album, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Age Music Album for the first time. The single "Orinoco River Cicada" has been on the British gold list for three weeks. If "Celtic" is an Irish geographical legend, then "Watermark" is a poetic legend about water, and waves of gentle ripples have painted colorful life coats on the heart lake. Enya's music creation is not controlled by space and clarity. The flowing human feelings, from shallow to deep, from reflection to sudden, from lurking to throbbing, turn the mysterious legend about water in ancient African civilization into intellectual interaction between water and people, reflecting static beauty. Four-star praise. The Orinoco River has a jubilant praise for exploring the water of the earth, and the watercolor animation image in the music video is refreshing. Watermark, Storm in Africa and River have become a part of the film music of Green Card starring Jehad Badiou and andie macdowell, which shows clear situational breadth in Enya melody and can also be emotional endorsements of image transmission. Although various titles of the Queen in the new century are crowned by Enya, Enya is in no hurry to launch a new work. On the contrary, this is the second time that Sinny O 'Connor has released the No.1 album "I don't want what I don't have".
19965438+165438+1The Shepherd's Moon, which was released in early October, reached 17 on the billboard pop album list in the first week of its release, and won the second place in the new era music album list and the second place in the British album gold medal list. This album won platinum record awards in the United States, Canada, Spain and Japan, and sold more than10 million copies worldwide.
At the end of June, 65438+ 10 in the same year, Enya embarked on a global publicity tour. In February, 1 1 made her first trip to Bao Dao, which transcended the secular temperament and set off a new wave of music in Taiwan Province. The album is full of blue moonlight legends, melancholy blue is accompanied by hesitation, and the static artistic conception is deeper, wider and more beneficial than "watermark". British nme miscellaneous? In the music review, I jokingly thought that the Caribbean Blue and Orinoco River created the most needed feeling for mineral water advertisements, which showed Enya's keen sense of creating water images with instrumental music.
1992 The heroic feelings of The Book of Love, the ending song of the movie Far from Home starring Tom Cruise, are infinitely extended under the snuggling of the bells and drums, which has the effect of stimulating human potential.
1992165438+10, Watermark achieved four platinum sales in Taiwan Province province, and Shepherd Month achieved seven platinum sales.
1994 was selected as the music segment "Marble Hall" of the film "The Age of Innocence" directed by martin scorsese and starring Winona Reed, which set off the elegant atmosphere of the film with its elegant temperament, and the classical and exquisite characteristics of Enya music were well proved here.
The album "The Shepherd's Moon" won Enya the first Grammy Award for Best New Age Music, and was also nominated for the British Music Award for International Artists. Cicada has been in the back seat of the billboard new age music album list for more than a year and a half, and even lingered in the top five of the list for four years. 1992 and 1993 won the year-end album list of new era music, and remained the runner-up in the year-end list until 1994.
At the end of 1994, Enya celebrated a different Christmas with the single "How Can I Not Sing". She sang the traditional single Silent Night in Irish, creating an exquisite Christmas dream.
By the end of August 1995, Watermark had sold 8 million copies worldwide, and shepherd moons even reached 8.5 million copies.
After four years' brewing, the album Memory of Trees released on June 1995 1 reached the 9th place on the billboard pop album list in the first week of release. The exciting Everywhere suddenly abandoned the mystery when exploring the meaning of mysterious life, and the whole album opened Enya's understanding of everything in the world. Taking the deepest feelings in the heart to the farthest place in the sky, the clear sound quality precipitated a deep feeling over time, then returned to the deepest place in the heart from the distant sky with the feelings of prayer and care, and finally led all creatures back to their spiritual homes in the song "The Way Home", which can be called Enya's most penetrating creation. This work, which topped billboard's New Age Music Album List, once again won her the Grammy Award for Best New Age Music Album.
Painting the sky with stars is an album released by 1997. It is not only a best seller over the years, but also a two-year creation of only if and the title song of the same name, with a global sales of over 9 million copies. Give it a perfect score of 5 stars.
In the same year, Enya's creative works were classified into three CDs: Ocean, Cloud and Star, and the most accurate images were collected.
Excluding the publicity of 1997 album "Painting the sky with stars", Enya spent two years burying herself in Dublin Castle and carefully finished the album "A Day Without Rain" released in 2000. This album is still co-written by producer Nicky Lane and songwriter Roma Lane. This time, Enya made some random thoughts on the piano, and three people arranged the music themselves, creating the most lacking warmth in today's music world. Released singles include Rainless Days and Wild Children of the same names, while Time is the only reason to mourn, which became the best witness song in mourning for the victims of 9 1 1 in the United States, and this song won the best international pop single award in the 2002 Echo Music Award.
In March, 2002, her theme song "maybe it is" for The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was selected as the original song for the best film in the 74th Academy Awards, which was the first time Enya was invited to perform at the Academy Awards.
