Jaz Steel is a multifaceted artist, who works mainly under the pseudonym Ultra Violet as a drag performer. They are the founder of the production collective Satanic Cowboy Productions (2021), which came about after establishing, producing and hosting multiple local shows. Along their artistic journey they have always written, their sketchbooks are always at minimum half writing, for some reason they find a lineless page to be the most easy to be poetic on. From teenage angst poetry, to young adult angst poetry they explore mainly themes of disordered mental health, unhealthy relationships and attachment.
