Paul Tonge is an English video game musician. He is good friends with Tony Williams and was with Tony's company Sound Images. The company started working with Software Creations, and eventually, Tonge left Sound Images to join Creations full-time. He was usually responsible for arranging music onto handhelds like the Game Boy and Game Gear. He would eventually resurface in 2002 to work at Virtucraft to compose the score for two titles.

Tonge appears to have left the games industry around 2003.
