Nicholas McCarrell (born April 6, 1982), professionally known as Aqua, is an American record producer and composer of film and television scores.
He began distributing copies of his demo in January 2002 after moving back to Los Angeles, generating a buzz within the Roc-A-Fella camp.
This buzz began Aqua's relationship with Jay-Z, producing "My 1st Song" off of Jay's Black Album.
He scored every episode from 2002-2007 that aired on ABC, entering syndication one month after the series finale.
In 2007, Aqua began working as a weekly composer for the HBO series Entourage.
