The brainchild of Romanian producer Michael Cretu, Enigma is a dance music project that has sold tens of millions of records since debuting in 1990.

∙ His 1990 debut album, MCMXC a.D., was a quadruple-Platinum bestseller, popularizing Enigma’s signature fusion of new age, club music, and Gregorian chant samples.
∙ Enigma’s bestselling 1990 single “Sadeness” became a worldwide hit purely on radio and club play, eventually topping the charts in more than 24 countries.
∙ Their 1996 full-length, Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!, and 2006’s A Posteriori both received Grammy nominations for Best New Age Album.
