Mary Brown is an American singer-songwriter best known for co-writing Destiny's Child "No, No, No", as well as Jaheim's "Fabulous". Brown was originally a member of girl-group trio Abstrac, signed to Reprise Records in 1989, which evolved into new jack swing duo M&M signed to Atlantic Records in 1990 as a result of shifting group membership. Both iterations of the group were able to release albums: An eponymous trio album in 1989 for Reprise, and a 1992 M&M album Get To Know Ya Betta on Atlantic. Brown moved into songwriting and background vocals when the group dissolved in 1992.
