Andreas Andresen Haukeland[1] (born 12 April 1993[2]), better known as Tix (stylized in all caps), is a Norwegian singer. He represented Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Fallen Angel".
Haukeland has Tourette syndrome, a condition characterised by involuntary movements called tics. During his childhood, he was bullied for his condition and he was called "Tics", which he later turned into his stage name.[3] Besides being a musician, Haukeland is a mental health awareness advocate and has shared his experiences with Tourette syndrome, as well as loneliness and suicidal thoughts.[4]
In 2019, Haukeland was a part of Norwegian Paradise Hotel, season 11, checking in as a VIP contestant. After his long run that season, he was part of the jury deciding the winners.
