Nádine (born February 28, 1982) is a South African Afrikaans singer, best known for the hit song Kaapse Draai. She has also recorded a number of songs in English.

Beginning her career as a teenager in 1996, Nádine has released eight albums and one DVD, with two certified platinum and four more certified gold. In 1997 she toured South Africa with Dutch singer Jan Smit, when her manager Ian Bossert brought him to the country.

Nádine has now released her eighth album, As Jy Wonder, produced by international songwriter and producer Steve Taylor. Nádine wrote lyrics for many of the album's songs. She commented:

"For the past ten years of my career I left the songwriting to the songwriters, but I realize now that you can interpret your own material much better. I co-wrote seven songs with Steve Taylor...When I started recording last year it was discovered that I have nodules on my vocal cords and I had to do less shows, talk less (which was very difficult) and also change my way of speaking, laughing and of course singing. I am very grateful that that is now something of the past...We worked on the album for ten months and each one of the songs has a special meaning to me."

Nádine has recorded a number of notable hit songs, including Dankie liewe Ouma, Hoor hoe klop my hart, Kom dans met my, Latina, ’n Meisiekind wil ek graag bly, Die Hemel Brand, Alweer Iemand Anders, Afrika Spore and Vive la Vida. Her best-known song, the ballad Kaapse Draai, was nominated as one of the top five songs in the 2003 Geraas Musiek Toekenning (GMT) awards, which recognize Afrikaans music. She maintains a busy performance schedule with up to 120 concerts a year. After more than ten years in the South African music industry her total sales number over 350,000 CDs. In 2008 she was again nominated for the SAMA awards for the album "As Jy Wonder".
