The Norwegian singer turned a childhood taunt into a stage name. Bullied for his Tourette syndrome and called "Tics," Andreas Haukeland reclaimed the slur, stylized it TIX, and rode it to Eurovision 2021 with "Fallen Angel."

About this person

Andreas Haukeland was born 12 April 1993 and grew up navigating Tourette syndrome - a condition marked by involuntary tics that made him a target. The playground cruelty that nicknamed him "Tics" became the banner he'd eventually plant on a contest stage. In 2019 he turned up on Norwegian Paradise Hotel's eleventh season as a VIP contestant, stayed long enough to earn a jury seat for the finale, and kept building a profile. Two years later he represented Norway at Eurovision with "Fallen Angel," carrying not just a song but a platform: he speaks openly about Tourette, loneliness, suicidal ideation, and the mechanics of staying alive when your own brain turns on you.
