Haddaway

Nestor Alexander Haddaway is a Trinidadian dance singer born on January 9, 1965 in Trinidad.

He made himself known with the song What Is Love.

After a childhood spent in the United States, he settled in Cologne, Germany. In this country, he will become a model, dancer, and will set up his own agency: Energy. Following his meeting with producers Junior Turello and Dee Dee Halligan, he recorded his first title: What is love? The video of this song will be shot in a castle and will stage in the role of a vampire a dancer named Gloria, his girlfriend at the time, which will also be found in several videos and television passages of the singer. This very danceable title, released in France in June 1993, reaches the top of all the charts, including France where it remains five weeks ahead.

The following singles, Life (August 1993, 5> in France), I miss you (January 1994, 16> in France) and Rock my heart (March 1994, 11> in France) are successful, albeit to a lesser extent, and are from the album simply dubbed The album.

In 1995, his second album The drive will provide Fly away titles (April 1995, 23> in France) and Catch a fire which went virtually unnoticed.
