according to http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Enya
Before long, it became clear Margaret was a greater musician by far than the rest of Clannad, and an amulet she found in the clutches of a sleeping groupie multiplied her powers further. She launched her solo career with the 1986 extra-long-playing album "Silent Are My Eyes." It was at this time she changed her name to Enya; that was her true "spirit name." During the recording of her first solo album, she perfected the art of the polyflute. She could then play five flutes at once. The pop labels wept. Who could master this rising power? No one but the mages at Windham Hill Records, who had signed and tamed such elder groups as Nine Straws Short and The Chair Dusters.
The albums Enya recorded over the next five years raised a groundswell of spiritual devotion from fans. Concerts would spontaneously erupt into prayer sessions.
In 1987, after some music stagnation which she rectified with walks over Mount Everest, she finished her breakthrough track "Bios en Salia" ("Sail Away"). The song topped charts in Great Britain and earned her a nomination at the Hippie Music Awards. On the heels of this success came her 1988 album "Steeplewalker." By this time, a young Bono and others were phoning her to set up promotional deals to take advantage of her unique "saviour" allure.
Even though her 1991 effort, entitled "Milk Spills From the Stars," sold over one million copies, she experienced a change of heart and reshaped her own figure in an elfen form. She lived in Middle Earth for about six months during the third age. Gandalf the Grey and his party of bejeweled adventurers encountered her fancifully strained siren song in Lothlorien. Her soundtrack sped them on their journey. For this, Middle-Earth owes her its freedom from the darkness of Morgoth. Frustratingly for Enya, the hobbits took the credit. While she wasn't made the queen of Gondor as she had hoped, this time in her life inspired the popular 1992 album "Legendarium."
Enya's vast earnings richened her lifestyle. With her newfound fortune, she bought a gothic mansion deep in the forests of France. As these things often go for her, the house was enchanted by wills o' the wisp, which had to be exorcised. Her eating habits in the sprawling estate may be summarised, "Gods' arteries too clog with cholesterol."
