Over the years the trio have garnered many awards including Best Debut (1999), Best Band (2000, 2001,2004 & 2005) and Best Album (2000, 2001 & 2004) while Erica has won "Best Female Artist" (2001 & 2002) and Vee has won "Best Producer" (2000). SKAMP have opened for international acts like "The Black-Eyed Peas", "Macy Gray", "Kraftwerk" and Germany's own "5 Sterne Deluxe" among others and the band have toured and played at festivals all over Europe and America.
In August the new video for their latest tune "Reach" was premiered on the very first "MTV Making The Video" programme on MTV Baltic, they had the first "MTV LIVE" programme air their "SKAMP - Live&Deadly" concert which is now out on DVD and it was the first time an entire week was dedicated to one band.
While the new video "Reach" currently has heavy rotation on MTV Baltic, SKAMP are currently writing and recording a brand new album due out in 2008. Stay Tuned.
