First solidified in January 2025, driven by manager James Aloisio.

Showcasing a roster that includes some of the best and most notable emerging and established artists in the metal, punk and hardcore arena, Aloisio & SSAM are taking a crucial next step in a career that has gone from strength to strength including stints as a booking agent, show promoter and band member.

A Long Island, NY native, currently based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Aloisio has taken the lessons learned cutting his teeth in the DIY underground and seen his artists carve out highly successful international careers, playing packed clubs, arena opening slots and major festivals worldwide while, scoring record deals with large independent and major label affiliates as well as major brand sponsorship arrangements. 

States Aloisio: “Southernstate Management takes a hands-on approach, building artists from the ground up while not losing sight of the intense, DIY ethics that brought them from basement shows to arena stages"
