Enya was born and brought up in Gweedore ( known in Irish as Gaoth Dobhair ), County Donegal, in the northwest corner of Ireland.

Enya is an approximate transliteration of how Eithne is pronounced in the Donegal dialect of the Irish language, her native tongue.

Enya recorded two solo instrumental pieces called " An Ghaoth Ón Ghrian " ( Irish for " The Solar Wind ") and " Miss Clare Remembers " that were released on the 1984 album Touch Travel.

Another early appearance on record followed in 1987, where Enya provided spoken ( not sung ) vocals in Irish on the song " Never Get Old " on Sinéad O ' Connor's debut album, The Lion and the Cobra.

A 1989 recording of Enya singing " Oíche Chiúin ", an Irish language version of " Silent Night ", has been reissued at least twice: on The Christmas EP ( which otherwise contains several non-holiday related previously issued recordings by Enya ) and the 1997 edition of the charity album A Very Special Christmas.

Enya was awarded the World's Best-Selling Irish Act award at the World Music Awards in London on 19 November 2006.

As a musical group Enya represents a partnership between three people: Enya herself, who composes and performs the music ; Nicky Ryan, who produces the albums ; and Roma Ryan, who writes the lyrics in various languages, except Irish, in which Enya will render the lyrics herself.

In 2006, Enya made it to the number three spot in the ranks of wealthy Irish entertainers with an estimated fortune of € 109 million ( i. e., £ 75 million or US $ 165 million ), and number 95 in the Sunday Times Rich List 2006 of the 250 Wealthiest Irish People.
