1954

Rybak won the 54th Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow, Russia, with a record 387 points, singing "Fairytale", a song inspired by Norwegian folk music.

The song was composed and written by Rybak and was performed with the modern folk dance company Frikar.

The song received good reviews with a score of 6 out of 6 in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, and, in an ESCtoday poll, he scored 71.3%, making him the favourite to get into the final.

1986

Alexander Igorevich Rybak (Александр Игоревич Рыбак; born 13 May 1986) or Alyaxandr Iharavich Rybak (Аляксандр Ігаравіч Рыбак) is a Belarusian-Norwegian singer-composer, violinist, pianist, author and actor.

1990

Eventually, the Rybak family settled in Nesodden in the early 1990s.

Rybak and his family received Norwegian citizenship after seven years of residing in Norway.

At the age of five, Rybak began to play piano but eventually picked up the violin as his main instrument.

He stated "I always liked to entertain and somehow that is my vocation".

He became a student at the Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo at the age of 10.

1991

His father Igor Rybak, a well-known classical violinist who performed alongside Pinchas Zukerman, defected to Norway in 1991 after a concert tour of a Belarusian chamber orchestra which he was part of.

Rybak's father lived with a musical family who gave him shelter and food in exchange for violin lessons for their son.

Alexander Rybak and his mother Natalia Rybak, who worked as a music journalist and a piano teacher, arrived in Norway on a tourist visa and were initially refused a residence permit.

2004

In 2004, Rybak was awarded the Anders Jahre Culture Prize at the annual culture festival in Madrid, Spain.

2005

In 2005, he entered the Norwegian version of Idol, Idol: Jakten på en superstjerne, reaching the semifinal.

2006

In 2006, Rybak won Kjempesjansen ("The Great Opportunity"), a talent competition hosted by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), with his own song, "Foolin".

Rybak has collaborated with artists such as a-ha's lead singer Morten Harket and Arve Tellefsen.

Rybak finished with a total of 387 points, breaking the previous record of 292 points scored by Lordi in 2006 and scoring 169 points more than the runner-up, Iceland.

Rybak's debut album, Fairytales, was released after his Eurovision win.

2007

In 2007, Rybak played the fiddle in Oslo Nye Teater's production of Fiddler on the Roof and won the Hedda Award for this role.

2009

His debut 2009 album, Fairytales, charted in the top 20 in nine European countries, including a top position in Norway and Russia.

As a result of his Eurovision win in 2009, he took a break from his bachelor's degree studies at the institute, but in 2011 he returned to his studies, and in June 2012 he graduated from the institute with a Bachelor of Music in violin performance.

In the 2009 Norwegian national heats, Rybak achieved a clean sweep, gaining the top score from all nine voting districts and ending with a combined televoting and jury score of 747,888, while the runner-up, Tone Damli Aaberge, received a combined score of only 121,856 (out of a total population of less than 5 million)

The song then competed in the second semi-final and won a place in the Eurovision final.

Rybak later won the Eurovision final with a landslide victory, receiving votes from all the other participating countries.

He and Frikar also toured Norway and Europe in 2009.

2010

Winning at the age of 23, Rybak remains the youngest solo male winner of the contest and the only Belarusian-born winner to date.

His win was celebrated throughout Europe for crushing stereotypes about the contest, such as needing an over-the-top performance or the influence of neighbour voting.

Since then, Rybak has been involved several times in the contest.

He performed as an opening act for the 2010 final and as an interval act in 2012 and 2016.

Rybak also co-stars as Levi in the film Yohan directed by Grete Salomonsen, which was released in March 2010.

Rybak also went on a tour in Norway with former Norwegian Eurovision winner Elisabeth Andreassen, something that had been decided before his Eurovision win and participation.

2011

Rybak has frequently provided commentary on the contest, and also worked as a journalist in 2011, and as a judge on the Belgian national finals in 2016 and 2023.

Rybak was born in Minsk, Belarus, which at that time was the Byelorussian SSR in the Soviet Union.

His parents and most of his other family hail from the town Vitebsk, in Northern Belarus.

2018

He represented Norway again in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal, with the song "That's How You Write a Song", winning the second semi-final and finishing in 15th place in the final.
