Caleb Chan is a Canadian composer and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known for his work on the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, its Equestria Girls spin-off, and Littlest Pet Shop. He has also composed for the Sprout network series Nina's World as well as the Disney series Dr. Dimensionpants.[1][2] For his work on Nina's World, he was nominated for a 2016 Leo Award for Best Music in an Animation Program along with composer Daniel Ingram.[3] At the start of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (season 5) in 2014, Ingram, who is the songwriter for the show, announced that Chan will be the song orchestrator on the series from that point onward.[4]

Chan attended Trinity Western University as a music student[5] and continued to study at the University of British Columbia[6] and the University of Toronto where he graduated with a master's degree in music composition.[7] His concert works are influenced by Chinese folk music and Western popular music.[8] He is also a frequent collaborator with indie artists, often arranging and performing string parts.[9]
