Devi McCallion[1] (also known as Cats Millionaire and Cat Milly, as well as multiple other pseudonyms) is a musician who has produced a number of pony-related songs, including three albums and several singles. She lives in Toronto Canada.[1]

McCallion's music is variably characterized as electro-industrial, industrial rock, and noise pop. In addition to My Little Pony, frequent subjects of her work include experiences with childhood sexual abuse and transgender identity. Her music is self-published under her own label, Blacksquares.

Pony music

McCallion has released four albums of pony-themed music, all released under the name Cats Millionaire. The name itself had already been used previously to release a non-pony EP, Meow, in March 2011.[2]

Pony Songs, was released in January 2012, as a mixtape of original songs, spoken word, mashups, and covers of both show and brony fandom music from the previous year, including works from an earlier pony-themed EP, You Can't Do That With Hooves, and from her participation in the Brony vs Brony Remix War.

I'm So Sorry, an EP about the emotional repercussions of Princess Luna's thousand-year banishment, was released in June of the same year.

Her final album produced as Cats Millionaire, Fun Fun Fun, was released in August 2013.

Other work

Although all of her pony-themed music has been released under the name Cats Millionaire, McCallion herself releases music under a large number of pseudonyms in addition to her real name. These include Girls Rituals, Yellow Bile, EAT BABIES?, Triangle Giant and Mom.[1]

In 2017, she co-created the group Black Dresses with fellow Canadian Ada Rook. Their work received positive reviews in indie music circles,[3][4] including appearing on Vice's "The 22 Best Albums You May Have Missed in 2019".[5] The duo announced they were breaking up in May 2020 following one of their tracks regarding McCallion's experiences with childhood sexual assault became popular on TikTok, leading to "extended harassment" after McCallion tried to have them removed.[6][7]
