Enigma is one of the most successful and culturally influential music projects of modern times. Founded by Michael Cretu in 1990, it has sold over 70 million records, collected more than 100 Gold, Platinum, and Diamond awards worldwide.

Eight studio albums to date, charted #1 in more than 60 territories worldwide. A catalogue that came to life with the sensational debut MCMXC a.D. and continues to find new listeners around the world.
“Old rules and habits must be rejected and dismissed, so that something new can be created. This is what I did with every Enigma album.”
