Caleb Santos

Caleb Santos is a Filipino singer-songwriter, actor, and music producer who first gained wide recognition as a member of XLR8, considered the first P-Pop boy group in the Philippines. He later became known to film audiences for his role as Von Palayan in the 2017 hit movie «100 Tula Para Kay Stella», alongside Bela Padilla and JC Santos.

His musical talent developed early, nurtured through church choirs and school bands, and he has built a career that spans singing, songwriting, dancing, and playing multiple instruments. He co-wrote and performed «I Need You More Today», a theme song from «100 Tula Para Kay Stella» that became one of his signature releases, streamed tens of millions of times. His catalog, including songs like «A Chance to Love Again», «Nakaraan», and «Wala Na», blends pop songwriting with R&B-leaning sensibilities and emotionally direct, Tagalog and English lyricism typical of contemporary OPM.

Beyond music, Santos has appeared in television and film, including a lead role in the horror film «Chain Mail» alongside Nadine Lustre, and has maintained a presence on YouTube featuring vlogs and collaborations with fellow artists such as Hazel Faith. His combination of acting and music places him among a generation of Filipino multi-hyphenate performers who crossed over from group idol projects into solo careers.
