It is a mixture of copper and zinc. But metals do bond by what is termed a metallic bond. You can picture a metallic bond as a "sea" of mobile electrons that keep the positively charged metal nuclei together.
A compound technically is a chemical substance with a FIXED RATIO determining the composition and where the atoms are chemically bonded. Since the copper to zinc ratio can be changed as desired, brass is automatically not a compound.
Hope this would help you!!

Brass is a mixture because there is no presence of chemical bond in the simple brass.
