He has broadcasted in dozens of countries around the world (China, United States, Singapore, Australia, Denmark and many others) on various media forms including mainstream TV channels, Live internet Video via Radio iTG and GGL and also in TV series in the UK. He has also commentated on tournaments on both Live video streams and internet Radio since 2002. He is now looked after by Creative Artists Agency of Hollywood.

, Call of Duty 2
, FIFA Soccer and almost all Racing Simulator games like Project Gotham Racing.
Chaloner also started the GGL World Rankings for duel players in electronic sports in 2005.
After a brief spell at Clanbase Radio, mainly commentating on EuroCups and OpenCups, he began commentating on other leagues, including the prestigious PC ZONE readers challenge and various Jolt
leagues. He was mainly into Unreal Tournament
games in the early days, but quickly moved on to cover Quake 3, Counter-Strike
and Counter-Strike: Source
when it was released.
In early 2005, he joined up with Radio iTG and attended many events around the world as one of the top commentators of eSports, including WCG
2005 and 2006, ESWC 2005 and 2006 and Quakecon in both 2005 and 2006 respectively. He has also commentated in places as far away as Singapore, Australia and China as well as multiple times in North America and all across Europe.
By 2006, Chaloner wanted to progress and worked on several TV shows, both in the UK, US, Denmark and Australia, eventually teaming up with Creative Artists for gaming TV shows. He also hosted and presented a rock concert (Fuse) in 2006 for Ubisoft and has worked with many of the major companies involved with eSports such as Intel, nVidia, Shure, Ubisoft and EA.

Commentary history
Chaloner started life as a commentator purely by chance, thanks to a good friend at Clanbase (Yash) asking him as a favour to cover some matches via shoutcast audio in 2002, whilst ReDeYe spoke English, that was about the limit of his shoutcasting ability. Once into it however, the people tuning in loved the coverage and Paul found something that he could channel his passion and enthusiasm into Gaming Commentary.After a brief spell at Clanbase Radio, mainly commentating on EuroCups and OpenCups, he began commentating on other leagues, including the prestigious PC ZONE readers challenge and various Jolt
