From his official homepage: The story of Haddaway took its start in 1965 on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago. In that year Alexander Nestor Haddaway was born into a local family, the mother a local nurse and his father a Dutch oceanographer. bbx 10:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Haddaway" does not sound like a Dutch name. --Saforrest 22:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Haddaway is his mother's maiden name. 64.241.230.3 20:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyone who can add more information on Haddaway's albums?

Perhaps this is a figment of my imagination but I'm sure when "What is Love" was in the charts, I heard Haddaway had previously been a professional goalkeeper in Germany! Anyone know anything about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Forzaminardi (talk • contribs) 21:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How many nationalities he currently has? Trinidadian-German-Dutch? --MrEskola (talk) 15:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trinidad and Tobago were part of the former British Empire but since 1962 are now independent.

so where does haddaway live at now??...does he live at USA or still out of USA??.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.114.178.36 (talk) 20:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He lives in Germany, and have been there for over 20 years. "Trinidadian-American"? More like Trinidadian-German for me. MrEskola (talk) 04:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking out the German part since he apparently grew up in the United States, didn't move to Germany until he was 22 and now lives in Austria.--Craigboy (talk) 06:52, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Haddaway is considered as one of Germany's singers as he's begun his professional music career in Germany. It doesn't matter where he's lived before or is living now. Additional information can be added about where he lives now with a source, but that certainly doesn't change the fact that he is one of Germany's well known artists.--Harout72 (talk) 09:56, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
