Where is Enya from?

Enya is recognized as the first Irish who wrote environmental folk songs.

Enya's original name was Aitny Brauner. Of course, this is an Irish name translated from English (referring to a goddess in the local language). She was born in Guido, Ireland on May 196 17, 2007. Gweedore is a small place in Ireland, which should be smaller than one of our counties. She is the fourth of nine children and the youngest daughter in the family. She studied piano and classical music at school, and her biggest wish before was to be a piano teacher. Due to Enya's introverted and shy personality, 1980, at the suggestion of her agent Fahtana O'Kelly, she joined Clannad (this is an excellent band composed of his brothers and sisters, and I also have some materials. You can ask me for them if you want to see it). She became a keyboard player, played Wurlitzer's electronic organ, later played Prophet5 synthesizer, and sang songs (providing harmony). And under the protection of big brother and big sister, it seems that it is difficult to have room for display, but she participated in the production of two albums, Crann'Ull and Fuaim, which is a good internship opportunity for her.

Nicky Ryan was the manager and producer of Clannad. He cooperated with Clannad for a long time and created many excellent works. Unfortunately, their cooperative relationship broke down on 1982. Of course, I don't know why. In short, he finally left. At the same time, he left with young Aisini. She was also discouraged and determined to stay backstage as the sixth person for a long time. ) After leaving Clannad, Nicky Ryan spoke highly of his talent and invited her to go with him. They went to Dublin together. ), met Nicky's wife, and Enya started her new musical journey. Ryan wanted Enya to concentrate on composing music (which I always thought was a wise decision), and Ryan's wife, Roma Ryan, wrote lyrics for him. The three of them worked happily in Nicky's sixteen-channel studio and finished many works in Irish. It was also at the suggestion of Fahitner O'Kelly that she began to devote herself to the production of film music. Roma later showed these tapes to many filmmakers. As a result, David Puttnam adopted their works for the first time in a French film The Frog Prince. At that time, the music could only be regarded as "Enyani Braune". However, this marked the first cooperation between Enya and his collaborators Nicky and Rome, and the transition from "Aitney" to "Enya" also began at that time.

Enya is a very humanistic artist. She insists on Irish folk culture in her works, so the famous Irish folk singer Christie Moore specially invited Enya to be his backup singer in his 1985 LP Ordinary People. At the same time, Hai shuttled between London and Dublin and wrote six humanistic works about Gus for BBC TV. This TV series about ancient Gource people was very popular, and the BBC was very happy and grateful when it was repeated on TV, so it strongly promoted the work of Enya's first album. The BBC liked this kind of music very much and decided to release an independent album before the documentary aired. This album is simply called "Enya", and the packaging doesn't even mention that it is an original vocal music. She played almost all the instruments in the album, sometimes adding 80 kinds of sounds to create that unique sound, dense texture, ethereal sound and fantastic charm. It draws a modern sound wave landscape with an electronic synthesizer, which can cause different atmospheres. From the sad "Deireadh-Tuath" to the touching "Boadicea" and its amazing dynamic mixed dubbing. 1986, "Enya" went on the market, and "Celtic" is certainly the title song strongly recommended by Enya and BBC.

The first album has shown Enya's strength, and this record has climbed to the first place in the Irish music charts, which has also started Enya's commercial promotion. She collaborated with singer Sinead O'Connor (also Irish, the first album The Lion and the Cobra won platinum and gold records in Europe and America), and recited a short passage in her album The Lion and the Cobra.10000.0000000000103 single The Stream of Orinoco River topped the list. Fans are all surprised by Enya's angelic voice in Watermark, and they are even more happy with the ocean synthetic voice they created. From 65438 to 0989, Watemark also attracted widespread attention in the United States, with 2 million copies sold locally and more than 4 million copies sold worldwide. In the same year, The Orinoco River was nominated for Grammy for Best New Age Performance and Best Music Video. Enya's music has indeed injected a brand-new artistic concept into the music world and provided a deeper feeling for listening. No wonder her songs were used in the movies "Green Card" and "Los Angeles Story". Even in the domestic advertising market, at least five TV sets CF use her music. It seems that there is no royalty for others. )

Enya is not a prolific writer. It was three years before she released her new work "The Shepherd's Moon", which was recorded by her and Ryan at their home in Ireland. So I have to add that "Enya" can't just point out the female singers in front of us now. There should be three people in Enya: Enya's music and arrangement, Nicky Ryan's production and arrangement, and Roma Ryan's lyrics. Enya also made it clear in several interviews that "Enya" can't live without any of the Ryan couple. "shepherd moons" has been in the limelight for a while since its launch, and it has been re-hyped together with the past two albums. What's rare is that "The Shepherd's Moon" won the top adult alternative/new age album * * 56 weeks in 1992 and 1993. At the same time, it also won Enya the 35th Grammy Best New Age Album and the title of Best Female Singer awarded by IRMA Record Association of Ireland. Suddenly, so many honors fell on Enya. In addition to being flattered, she also felt great pressure invisibly. However, it is worthy of recognition that Enya's original musical style and the use of multilingual phonology are disappointing in her works. On the contrary, what we were most worried about at that time was how Enya could create a new pattern in the future with the help of long-term recording, which was our greatest concern.

Facts have proved that our worries at that time were superfluous. As every Enya fan knows, the release of 1995 album Memory of Trees has once again achieved great success. She won two Grammy Awards again on 1992 for her album The Shepherd's Moon. While we were still immersed in the beautiful melody of Anywhere Is, Enya released a new song plus a selected album "Drawing the Sky with Stars" on 1997, and also released the album "Dream Box" in the same year, including three CDs and a graphic booklet. These CDs are named "Ocean, Clouds and Stars", which includes her from 1987.
