TonightEnya won the RTร Choice Music Classic Album award for 2024, for Watermark![]()
she'll probably be there to collect the award!)
~Enya, 2025Thank you so much to RTร Choice Awards, I am very very honoured tonight.
When Watermark came out, I was just so proud to be able to make music. My love of music has always been a driving force to me, and any success always feels like a great bonus, as I've been determined to create music, which is true to myself from a very young age.
Watermark really kickstarted my career, and has always remained very special to me. I couldn't have made it happen without Nicky and Roma, and I am eternally grateful for their talent, vision and support. This award is as much theirs as it is mine.
I also want to thank Warner Music; I had just signed to them at the time, and they allowed me the artistic and creative freedom to make Watermark what I wanted it to be. I am delighted that it has stood the test of time, and still resonates with so many people around the world.
The album's themes felt deeply personal when I made it, but years later, they are proving to be universal feelings, which are still connecting with a new generation. I am so thankful to the people who are still discovering Watermark, and those who continue to play it almost 30 years later.
Go raibh maith agat, thank you.
