Mark Brown (born 1962), better known by the stage name Brown Mark, also spelled BrownMark, is an American musician and record producer.
[edit] Biography
Born in Bronx NY, Mark's early fame came when he was the bass guitarist of The Revolution, musician Prince's original touring (and later also his recording) band. Noted for his unique, funk-based style of musicianship,[citation needed] he became a record producer and recording artist himself after parting company with Prince in 1986. He achieved minor successes in the R&B music field under both titles (most notably as founder and producer of R&B group Mazarati). After a lengthy absence from the music business he returned with a new project entitled Cryptic. After the release of the Cryptic CD entitled It's Been Awhile the group disbanded in 2002. BrownMark is currently working on a new project out of Tampa Florida with his newly formed group Syx Mil Breach. The CD will be released late 2009 and is to be titled Multiple Personalities.
