The Story
Imagine a pulsing dance floor, strobe lights slicing through the haze, as the infectious beats of electronic dance music take over. That’s where Nestor Alexander Haddaway, a Trinidadian-American artist who found his groove in Germany, shines brightest. He burst onto the scene with the unforgettable anthem "What Is Love," a track that has since become a timeless staple at parties and clubs worldwide. Released under Arista Records, his sound captures the essence of the early '90s dance movement, blending catchy melodies with deep grooves that resonate long after the music stops. Haddaway’s work is a testament to that exhilarating era, reminding us that in the whirlwind of life and love, sometimes all we really want to know is, “What Is Love?”
