Although no singles were originally planned, it was the release "Orinoco Flow" ("Sail Away") that brought Enya to public attention and resulted in an unexpected chart #1 in several countries. WEA's backing made the recording of "Watermark" possible and the album was released in 1988. Her 'big break' began in 1987 when she was signed by Rob Dickins, head of WEA Music UK, after he had heard and been entranced by the "Enya" album. Their music has been variously described as bordering. The Celts (1987) was first shown in 1987 and a selection of its music released under the title "Enya", giving the artist her first album, largely unnoticed at the time. Clannad are a Grammy Award-winning Irish musical group, from Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair), County Donegal. Enya was signed to write and perform music for the series.

In 1986, BBC-TV began work on a six part documentary series charting the history and continuing cultural influence of the Celts. The titles on The Frog Prince (1986) credit music to Enya Ní Bhraonáin and the transition of Eithne to Enya (the phonetic pronunciation of Eithne) had begun. In 1985, film producer David Puttnam commissioned her to write music for his film The Frog Prince (1986) which was released in 1985. Eithne, apparently frustrated with being left in the background, left at the same time and, in Ryan's belief that she had talent in her own right, moved to live with him and his wife Roma Ryan and develop her own musical career.

Brdn also recorded some of the band’s albums and appeared on tv shows ranging from Later with Jools Holland and The Tonight Show. She went on tour with her family band, Clannad, and performed as a vocalist in some of the shows. In 1982, Clannad split with their long-time manager and producer Nicky Ryan. Brdn Brennan is Enya’s youngest sibling, as she was born in 1974. Enya joined Clannad in 1980 and, credited under her real name, provided keyboards and (mostly) backing vocals. Changing their name to Clannad, and recruiting sister Maire Brennan in 1973, the band have gone on to international success performing both their own and traditional material. In 1968, elder brothers Ciarán & Pol, and uncles Pádraig & Noel Ó Dúgáin, formed the band "An Clan As Dobhar" to perform traditional Irish music at festivals etc. Her father owns a local pub - Leo's Tavern in Meenaleck - and her mother Baba taught music in the local school. She now lives in Killiney, a coastal district on the southern outskirts of Dublin The family is very musical and her parents played in a family dance band before settling down. Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin, the fourth youngest of nine children, comes from the small village of Dore (Dobhar in Irish) in the Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair) region of County Donegal in northwestern Ireland.
