Brown Mark (also spelled Brownmark; born Mark Brown, 1962) is a Minneapolis-born American musician and producer.
Brownmark's early fame came when he was the bassist of The Revolution, music artist Prince's original touring (and later also his recording) band. Noted for his unique, funk-based style of musicianship, he became a music producer and recording artist himself after parting company with Prince in 1986, scoring 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 is currently recording once again as a member of Cryptic, a music group based in his hometown of Minneapolis. An R&B CD titled "It's Been Awhile" and credited to Cryptic was released by the group in 2002.
