Red Alert Studios was started in the Home of Producer/Musician Shawn Conley and high school sweetheart and wife, Pam Conley in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1986 as a means to record his own personal Projects. 

With only a 16 track, Reel-to-Reel Tape Machine and a small mixing console, the Studio quickly became busy with outside projects.  Shawn began taking on other projects,  everything from video commercials and voice-overs to custom album projects, and word quickly circulated the community about his studio and attention to detail.

Shawn decided that in order to take the studio to the next level, he needed to take it to where the music biz was more active. Having a vision of creating a studio in a serene, inspiring environment, Shawn began searching for land in the Nashville area.

In 1995 he located and purchased forty-two sprawling, previously farmed acres just outside Nashville, in rural Gallatin, TN.  Shawn and Pam picked up and moved, working regular day jobs to make ends meet while building the studio from the ground up.  A labor of love, the studio took two years to build.
