Enya Patricia Brennan, better known as just Enya, (Donegal-Ireland, May 17, 1961) is a singer and songwriter of new age and zen music. Anyone who has attended a yoga class will have stretched muscles with Enya. Her career is extensive: 100 million records, 4 Grammy's, Golden Globe for the music of the movie 'The Lord of the Rings', and author of 'Only Time', music chosen to bring a bit of emotional calm to the images of the fall of the attack on the Twin Towers.

She began her career in 1979 with a group from her Clannad family. With her album 'Watermark', released in 1988, she rose to international prominence, and Enya became known for her unique sound, characterized by multiple "voice layers", synthesized from her own, folky melodies, synth backgrounds, and ethereal reverberations. She has sung in ten languages ​​throughout her career, including her native Gaelic, Irish, Latin, Spanish, English and others.

Studies have shown that listening to the music of the singer Enya produces effects similar to those of meditation, regardless of the musical preference of the volunteers. To do this, they studied the heart rate of 25 people while they listened to three random songs, including Enya's “Only Time”. Thus, it was possible to have a notion of the activation of the sympathetic nervous system (which prevails in situations of alarm and stress) or of the parasympathetic (which prevails in situations of relaxation), with the result already noted.
