In 2007, he made his debut as a theatre director with a West End revival of Rent dubbed Rent Remixed which received poor reviews. When asked beforehand how he was going to handle the change in direction, he claimed he said; "I'm approaching it in the same way I would approach a Kylie show or tour". He has also worked with the musical acts Garbage, Tricky, Björk, Tori Amos, Reef and Jamiroquai on album and single covers, and music videos. He collaborated with Jay Kay of Jamiroquai on the costume and set design for both the A Funk Odyssey album cover and tour. Baker worked as stylist for Britney Spears on her 2009 The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour. He has also been credited as director of British pop singer Leona Lewis' debut tour The Labyrinth, which was filmed in the London O2 Arena for a DVD/CD release.
