Q/ We’ve been speaking on an off for a fair while now, but for those<br />
out there that don’t know you, or the projects you’re involved with, tell<br />
us a bit about yourself? Who are Jitta & Jason, what is Yellow Trash<br />
Can, aka YTC, & the Garbage Patch Kids collection, aka GPK, and how<br />
are they all connected?<br />
A/ Yellow Trash Can is an Alt Band & Production Duo made up of Jitta<br />
On The Track and me. We are completely independent as a band, but<br />
Jitt does have a co-publishing deal with Sony where he has produced<br />
for other artists and labels, as well as their own music. Jitt is down<br />
in Woodland Hills in LA and I’m up in Portland, so we mainly talk<br />
over spaces and DM each other throughout the day. YTC as a band<br />
officially started around 2 years ago with our first track recorded in<br />
the Summer of 2020. We’ve both been musicians all our lives and we<br />
just naturally came together. The early days of the Garbage Patch Kids<br />
collection, when the idea formed, was about a year ago and actually<br />
started with the Trash Cans<br />
as the body with different<br />
heads, but we switched to<br />
the Trash Can head as we<br />
felt it would be easier for<br />
collabs. Our goal is to build<br />
in streaming royalties from<br />
our music later in the game<br />
that are attached to the GPK<br />
NFT series. We want to offer<br />
a safe space for 1 of 1 artists,<br />
with 100 original GPKs done<br />
by Jitt and another 300 that<br />
are a collaboration between<br />
Jitt and other artists with the<br />
growth of the NFTs along<br />
with the band. I guess I’m very<br />
