Irish singer and composer Enya has received various accolades in recognition of her music, primarily in the Celtic and new-age subcategories. Enya's career spans over four decades, beginning her solo career in 1982. She is the best-selling solo Irish artist—second artist only behind U2— and one of the best-selling artists of all time.[1]
"May It Be" from the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring garnered her nominations at major ceremonies, including the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song, in 2002. Enya had won all of her nominated World Music Awards, four Grammy Awards of nine nominations, and became the most nominated Irish artist in history at the Brit Awards.[2] In 2007, Enya was honored by Ulster University with an honorary Doctor of Letters degree and by University of Galway with an honorary Doctor of Music degree. Watermark won twice the RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Classic Irish Album in 2024 and 2025, respectively.[3]
