My Little Pony’s Emmy-Winning Daniel Ingram on Scoring for Kids of All Ages

Daniel Ingram is probably not a name that most of our readers are immediately familiar with, even if his work is likely to have been stuck in your head at some point in the last ten or so years.He’s a musician–a specific breed, in fact, writing music for TV and film, most notably the cult sensation My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.When, recently, Ingram was called upon to write some very special music for the series’ highly-touted “coronation episode,” ComicBook.com caught up with the Emmy-winning composer to find out what it’s like to work not just on kids’ shows, where there are some very specific demands placed on his talents–but on a show like My Little Pony, where you know there’s an element of the audience who’s watching from a decidedly different perspective than most.The series airs on Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m. EST on The Hub. You can check out some of Ingram’s work in the video below, and then check out our interview below that.
