Nestor Alexander Haddaway (born 9 January 1965) is a Trinidadian-born German singer[1][2] best known for his 1993 hit single "What Is Love", which reached number 1 in 13 countries.

[5] In 1987, Haddaway enrolled in medical school, but quit due to lack of excitement[4] and relocated to Cologne, West Germany, where he mostly worked in taverns.

His debut single, "What Is Love", rapidly became popular in Europe, reaching number 2 in Germany and the United Kingdom.

[2] The follow-up singles "I Miss You" and "Rock My Heart" also reached the Top 10 in Europe and established him as a successful Eurodance artist.

[7][10] In 1995, he released his second album, The Drive, which included the UK top 20 hit "Fly Away", as well as "Catch a Fire" and "Lover Be Thy Name".

This exposure led to him scoring a moderate chart hit in Germany with the ballad "Spaceman" from his next album, Pop Splits.

The track resurfaced again in 2010 when it sampled heavily in Eminem's single "No Love" featuring Lil Wayne.
