4	Andreas Haukeland (born April 12 1993), known professionally as '''TIX''', is a Norwegian singer-songwriter, producer, and musician.
5
6	TIX is best known for representing Norway in the Series/EurovisionSongContest 2021 with the song "Ut av mørket" [[note]]English: "Out of the dark"[[/note]], later translated to "Fallen Angel" in English. Despite it being a hit on the Norwegian charts upon release, his victory at Melodi Grand Prix was widely seen as an [[DarkHorseVictory upset win]] over Music/{{KEiiNO}}, the fan-favorite group who previously represented Norway in 2019 and finished as runners-up to him with their song "Monument". TIX did qualify for the final and finished eighteenth.
7
8	In addition to his solo career, TIX has also been involved in making hit songs for other artists, most notably Ava Max's "Sweet but Psycho", which topped the charts in over twenty countries. His stage name is derived from Tourette's syndrome, which he has been diagnosed with.

14	!! TIX provides examples of:
15	* DarkIsEvil: The demons in his "Fallen Angel" performance are pitch black.
16	* DarkHorseVictory: His victory at Melodi Grand Prix 2021 was seen as this not because his entry was bad or unpopular, but because he was up against the fan-favorite group Music/{{KEiiNO}}, who previously represented Norway at Eurovision in 2019 and topped the public vote then. They ultimately finished second to him.
17	* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Wears these colors in his performance of "Fallen Angel" in a subversion of the trope.
18	* FallenAngel: Portrays one in his performance of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Fallen Angel"]].
19	* ShipTease: Made several flirtatious comments and videos towards Efendi, the contestant from Azerbaijan, at Eurovision. Among them include performances of "[[Film/EurovisionSongContestTheStoryOfFireSaga Jaja Ding Dong]]" and the original Pokemon theme. Efendi appreciated the gesture, though it is unknown if they are in a serious relationship.
20	* SillyLoveSongs: Songs like "[=BeautiFull=]" ([[PunBasedTitle BeautyDrunk]]) qualify.
21	* SunglassesAtNight: He is often seen wearing sunglasses, especially when he performs. It's primarily to disguise his facial tics (he took them off briefly during his performances at Eurovision).
