From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nicholas Dominick Ryan (born in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish music producer and manager for the musician Enya. He previously managed the Irish group Clannad, the band with which Enya first performed. In 1982, when Nicky Ryan left Clannad, Enya followed him. In the video documentary Enya - A Life in Music, Enya states that it was Nicky who first had the idea of layering Enya's voice, thus creating Enya's distinctive style.

Nicky Ryan currently lives with Enya's lyricist Roma Ryan. They currently reside in Killiney, Ireland, and have two daughters, Ebony and Persia. Enya once lived with them, but now lives in Manderley Castle.

In the Seventies and Eighties Nicky was highly regarded as a live sound engineer working with artists such as Planxty and Christy Moore.
