Beauty Marked is the debut studio album by American drag queen Miss Fame, released on June 9, 2015, by Sidecar Records. Musically, the album is compiled of pop and dance music, with electronic elements, and features appearances from fellow Drag Race contestants, season five runner-up Alaska Thunderfuck, and season seven winner Violet Chachki.
On December 7, 2014, during the "Ru-Veal" of the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, Miss Fame was the first queen announced to be a contestant on the show. Miss Fame's angle on the show was a "supermodel" aesthetic. After performing moderately well in the competition, never falling into the bottom two until episode nine, he was eliminated in the ninth episode, "Divine Inspiration", placing him seventh overall.
In promotion of the show, a compilation album, RuPaul Presents: CoverGurlz2 was released, consisting of covers of various RuPaul songs. The tracks were all performed by the contestants of the show, with Dam-Mikkelsen contributing a cover of "Drag Race Theme", a song originally from RuPaul's album Champion, to the album. This was Dam-Mikkelsen's first official appearance on a musical project, although he later contributed vocals for "Tan with You", a parody of RuPaul's song "Dance with U", on an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Dam-Mikkelsen first announced that he was releasing music during an interview with Miss Fame, conducted by vlogging team Feast of Fun, with him announcing it as "some sound for the people to live off of for the next period of time", although he did not specify whether he would be releasing a single or a full album at the time. Regarding the album's title, during the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race, upon first meeting Miss Fame, he says "I'm ready to show everybody what I'm meant to do, which is leave a beauty mark on the face of the planet". Later, in an interview with The Advocate, Dam-Mikkelsen stated "I've yet to leave my 'Beauty Mark'". He also further commented on his music:
