Steven Lindsay

Brief Biography

Steven studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1982 - 1985 and was a contemporary and friend of Steven Conroy and Alison Watt. He left art school when Virgin offered him a record deal and achieved major recognition as the lead singer of The Big Dish, who are best remembered for their hit single, Miss America. He has a classic approach to painting and favours broad brushwork, an influence which stems from his art school tutor, the acclaimed painter, John Cunningham. Most of his work is figurative and influences include Stanley Spencer, Vermeer, Lucian Freud and the Scottish Colourists. From 1985 to 1996, Steven was signed to Virgin Records, EMI Music Publishers and Warner Bros USA before signing to Chrysalis Music in 2006 as a recording artist/songwriter. He now works as a freelance graphic designer, art/creative director, artist and musician. A man of many talents!
