Haddaway is a Trinidadian-German singer best known for his work in the Eurodance and pop genres, emerging in the early 1990s. Born Nestor Alfred Haddaway, he rose to international prominence with the 1993 hit single "What Is Love," which exemplified the era's blend of synthesizer-driven dance rhythms, catchy melodic hooks, and emphatic, soulful vocal delivery. His music typically combines electronic dance production with pop songcraft and R&B-influenced vocal style, often featuring uptempo beats suited for club play and mainstream radio. Haddaway has remained associated primarily with the 1990s Eurodance movement and is recognized for his contribution to that period's European and international dance-pop landscape.
