Chad Kroeger of Nickelback: "If you thought Nigel Dick could direct a video, you should see him write a book!"
Steve Lukather of Toto: "We hated doing videos cause we are musicians not dancers or actors. But Nigel made it fun, did an amazing job, was a great hang and caught on to our personalities quick."
Tony Scalzo of Fastball: "Nigel is a brilliant storyteller and a tireless creative force."
