Andreas Andresen Haukeland[1] (born 12 April 1993[2]), better known as Tix (stylized in all caps), is a Norwegian singer.

[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.

During his school years, he was bullied for his Tourette syndrome and his tics, leading to him struggling with his mental health for most of his life.

"[5] In 2010, during a russ celebration, Haukeland's girlfriend at the time asked him if he could write a song for the bus crew.

[7] In 2015, he was featured in several Staysman and Lazz music videos in which he is seen doing various things, including touching the instructor's breast during a sex ed class,[8] partying excessively[9] and waking up with a man in bed, who he kisses on the forehead before leaving, albeit in a hurry.

In the summer of 2017, TIX was a warm-up artist for Justin Bieber at Forus Travbane in Stavanger.

However, in the same year and in 2019 he would also create new russ songs, but with a new theme of a foreboding party burnout and depression.

On 15 January 2021, during an interview on Norwegian talk show "Lindmo", Haukeland told of how he tried to commit suicide in 2018.

"[citation needed] He created a 10 part vlog series on social media, which detailed his journeys and experiences at Eurovision, including traveling around Rotterdam and Amsterdam, behind the scenes footage, and a dedicated video to Azerbaijani singer Samira Efendi.

On 14 May 2021, Tix released the single "Engel, Ikke Dra", which was a dedication to a fan of his, Aurora Buerskog, who died from cancer in the summer of 2019.

Meeting Aurora made me understand how important my music is in many people's everyday lives.

From early 2019 to late 2020, he was in a relationship with Marthe Elise Brenne, a Norwegian influencer, whom he met and was partnered with in Paradise Hotel.

"[21] On 18 October 2021, Haukeland released a book, TIX: Den Stygge Andungen (The Ugly Duckling), based on his childhood in which he tells the story of himself.
