Steven Baillie is an art director and photographer.

In 1985, Baillie formed the alternative goth band, Screaming for Emily, with a group of his childhood friends. Playing in Asbury Park, N.J., and in New York City and Danceteria, Baillie’s U.K. influences carried over into his music.[1] Music magazine Propaganda declared, “The home-grown act that emerged looked and sounded like they had just been flown in from central London.” The band reunited more than a decade later for a tour and album release.[2]
