In a world where some stars cannot ask for a white oatmeal without sharing it on Instagram, Inya – Who turned 64 on May 17 – is anomaly. The Singer, Best Known for Ubiquitoous Hits from the 80s and 90s Like “Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)” and “Only Time,” you have sold 80 million albums worldwide, Making her the mustcessful Irish only Beryone Ever and She’s City And She’s City and She’s City and She’s City And She’s City And She’s City and She’s City and She’s City And She’s City and She’s City and She’s City And She’s City And She’s City and she is a city and is a city Taylor Swift to Moby a, uh, Spencer Pratt.
In January 2025, the star of reality Pratt went to Viral Tiktok with videos of himself eating burritos to one of his songs, “Echoes in Rain”. Hello, he said he wanted to travel to Ireland to ask the singer to permission to remembered his work with his wife’s music, Heidi Montag – But fans wisely told him to stay well away! And in 2023, “Enyacore” was widely held online, with fans creating fantasy videos established in their music, bringing a new generation of listeners in their own way.
However, in some way, the star has managed to avoid everything that normally comes with fame.
Born Eithne Abraigín, no Bhraonáin in Donegal County, Ireland, Enya has never been on a Twitter dispute, appeared in a reality show or had a malfunction of the costume in an award ceremony. In fact, his appearances on the red carpet and the press interviews have been few and far away, so he is often described as a lonely. However, additional investigation reveals that the dream of the introvert is simply living, leading a quiet life out of Dublin in the castle that bought in 1997 for 3.8 million euros (approximately $ 4.1 million) with only its cats for company.
The singer branched from her family band Clannad in the 1980s with her unique and ethereal sound: coral part, new era, part of modern synthesizer. It means that it is in the soundtrack numerous holiday shows, dinners and small town yoga classes, for most of the four decades. One of his best known and relaxing songs, “Only Time”, launched in 2000, became synonymous with the sad television coverage of September 11.
Over the years, often with long landscapes, he has launched eight studio albums and won four Grammys, as well as an Oscar nomination in 2002 for his work in the Lord of the Rings Soundtrack, but has never made a leg on the tour or has simply performed a solo concert. Instead, he has created his own private port from all the madness that success can bring. His home, yes, the castle, has high walls and panoramic views.
“It’s very castle abroad,” he said The guardian In 2000, in a strange interview. “But it is very a home inside. A very small castle is real and I fell in love with it.” She added: “In the morning I open the blinds, you will notice in the castle of her blinds, not curtains, and look towards the Irish sea. He is beautiful and very inspiring.”
Bond – whose band, U2, is the only export of Irish music more successful than her, is a neighbor, but do not pass the time, although occasionally they cross in some of the most elegant restaurants in Dublin. In fact, Enya’s creative circle is small: he has worked with the producer Nicky Ryan And his wife, lyricist Rome Ryan Since she started, and they live nearby.
Lonely, thought? Not quite. She enjoys the luxuries of life; She is selective about who shares them. She has never married or had children, but has been in relationships. They have remained very, very private.
“That I am not married and I have no children has been my choice,” he said in the same Guardian interview. “I do not feel that they have lost me in any way. In school, the girls of Eather talked about getting married, but it was never in my list of things to do. I was looking at something else. What I was through it was a treatment of it was a treatatic making me make that I am doing that I am doing that I am making that I am doing that I am doing that I am doing I am doing that I am doing that I am doing that I That I am doing that I am doing that I am doing that I am doing I am doing pressure from myself, because the relationships come and go, but if the relationships do not work, that means that they are not right.
The star knows that some fans and critics find her quiet life perplex. “My private lifestyle annoyed many people,” he added. “It is not a pendant offensive that does not want to go to nightclubs. What happened to the choice? My choice is that after a certain amount of promotion, I feel that it becomes very false and then I am not interested. When the album has left the album left with Bone and Istheste the music to be known, but I am not after fame.”
Enya spoke more about his love for privacy in an interview with Irish times In 2015. “It was important for me to retain privacy, because I was a child of concern that fame could interfere with my writing, with my music; that I could have changed in what I was working on,” he said. “I was protecting everything really carefully and closely.”
The same year, he said Independent: “I have never tried to create an enigma. I always have a very independent person.”
In fact, she is so concentrated in her music, that she wonders if she is one of the reasons she has never married. “There is one leg … relationships,” he said in the same interview. “It is quite difficult to have some that accept that, well, it is not that they are the second to music, but I need a certain amount of space for him. And just even if the person understood that at first, there is some time.” “
While most fans respect the firm limits of the star, over the years, some have violated their privacy in a terrifying style. In 2005, a fan broke into his castle and tied a maid while looking for the star and stole personal items, but without money or value objects. Enya herself managed to hide in a panic room, and a man was arrested. Even behind, in 1996, an Italian fan who had been following her for more than a year stabbed in her parents’ pub when asked to leave.
“It has been traumatic,” he said in his 2015 interview with Independent. “I receive letters from the people who say they come to me. But, you know, I sympathize with these people, I feel they are very disturbed. They are tilting music, or me, for other reasons. They need help.”
Thanks to most fans leave Enya alone, happy that he is happy. But what do she do while hiding in that castle? “I do pilates,” she said Independent. “No classes; I have an instructor that comes to me. I do it in the privacy of my own home.”
She also told her The believer Magazine in 2017 that you see a lot of television and movies, listing Alfred Hitchhock’s Rebecca Like your favorite classic movie. “There are many things on television where I’m not really interested, such as soaps and things like that,” he said, before revealing what loves Bathtub. “Grande fan,” he said. “It’s wonderful. I, Nicky and Rome are great fans of Bathtub. We did not miss an episode. I like mad Men also. “
He also revealed that, unlike his lonely image, he leaves, sometimes he is recognized. “Sometimes you think you are in an environment where nobody would know you,” he said in the same interview. “In Australia and in a store with my sister, and the following, what I get, this is what I get:” Do you know who you see? “And I stay there, and because I don’t say anything they go,” are you? “And then I feel that it is not fair to say no, so I will, my son of smile or give it away.”
She added: “My fans really understand me and give me space. They will ask for an autograph and they will simply leave. They are very understanding for the way I like to live, and the fact that the ways of anger pushed the mosquera, the mosquera forward, the success. Success are two different things.”
It’s bone a Whitle Spray Enya released anything new: his last album, Dark Sky IslandHe left in 2015. In 2023, a new version or “Orinoco Flow” were launched, along with a new vinyl version of his iconic 1988 album, album, album, FiligreeAnd the official website was given a lick of paint at that time, but has been inactive since then. In February 2025, he won a RTE award for the Irish classic album, but did not attend the ceremony in person.
Instead, she issued a statement: “I am very honest tonight. When Filigree He came out, was very proud to be able to make music. My love for music has always been a driving force for me and any success always feels like a great advantage, since I have been decided to create music that is faithful to me from a very early age. Filigree My career really started and has always kept me very special. “
Meanwhile, the residents of the Irish village of Dalkey, near where he lives, they say it is still difficult to achieve. In Sunday Times In April 2025 entitled “In search of Enya, the star who moved away from the center of attention,” some said they had seen her driven in a brown Mercedes limousine from time to time. And an owner of a local restaurant, Jérôme FernandesHe said he was lasting in his place, the Indian bunny, before the pandemic. “Although it is rarely seen these days, Enya is still highly respected in Dalkey, since it has brought so much positivity to the area,” he said. “When I was here before Covid, it was clear that I was not looking for attention and did not stand out compared to anyone else.”
