Michael Ovie Hunter (born 21 October 1999), known professionally as Thisizlondon (pronounced as London, and formerly stylised in all caps), is a Nigerian-British record producer and DJ. He is best known for co-producing the 2022 global hit single, "Calm Down" for Rema before Selena Gomez hopped on the remix. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, peaked atop the IMI International (becoming the second song by a Nigerian artist to do so) and remains the most internationally successful Afrobeats song.
Signing with Blowtime Entertainment in 2019, he's produced for other notable artists including Crayon, Ayra Starr, Rema, Wizkid, Selena Gomez, 6lack, Yseult, and Ladipoe. His other successful productions include Rema's: "Calm Down" and "Ozeba", Ayra Starr's "Fashion Killa" and "Bloody Samaritan", Tiwa Savage's "Koroba", and Johnny Drille's "Mystery Girl". In 2022, he signed a publishing deal in a joint venture with Sony Music Publishing France and Bluesky Music Publishing.
