Biography

Born to a gospel minister, she grew up singing in the church and was heavily influenced by the music of George Duke and Lee Ritenour. While in high school, she decided to make a career of singing. She was a successful beauty pageant contestant and model when, at age twenty-two, she was discovered by the MCA Records executive Louil Silas. Moore was signed to Silas' MCA-distributed imprint Silas Records.

Moore was formerly married to actor Kadeem Hardison ; they have a daughter named Sophia. In January 2002, she married singer Kenny Lattimore ¹ On April 10, 2003, their son Kenny was born.

Career

Moore has recorded several hit records, including "Love's Taken Over", "It's Alright", "I'm What You Need", "Old School Lovin", and "Free" (a Deniece Williams cover). Moore recorded "Your Home Is In My Heart" with Boyz II Men for the How Stella Got Her Groove Back soundtrack. Moore was also featured on the soundtrack of Waiting to Exhale in 1995 with the song "Wey U."

This also shows off her vocal range and does not go unnoticed by music reviewer Tracy E. Hopkins at Barnes and Noble who remarks how this record "showcases Moore's Minnie Riperton–reminiscent pipes".

In 2000, Moore earned a Soul Train Music Awards nomination alongside Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for Single of the Year, Female" ² for her Billboard #2 R&B and #10 Pop hit "Chante's Got A Man." However, she lost the award to Lauryn Hill. The single was also certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies in America. In 2002, she won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Group, Band or Duo for "Contagious" featuring The Isley Brothers. She also appeared on the hit UPN show Girlfriends, singing Minnie Riperton's Lovin' You. In 2002, Moore sang on Kenny G's single "One More Time," which registered on the Smooth Jazz and Adult Contemporary singles charts.

In 2004, a 20th Century Masters greatest hits collection was released with some of her most memorable songs, along with a detailed booklet in which author A. Scott Galloway praises her for her "powerful, yet flexible and gorgeous 5-octave vocal range..."

With Kenny Lattimore

A year after marrying R&B singer Kenny Lattimore, the two signed as a duet act to Arista Records and released a duet cover album entitled Things That Lovers Do. The album was promoted with a stage play named after the album and a music video for the single "You Don't Have To Cry" which shows a prominently pregnant Moore on screen with Lattimore. The album also included a remake of the Minnie Riperton and Peabo Bryson duet "Here We Go" on which Chante prominently shows off her whistle register in tribute to Riperton.

In fall 2006, Chante a followup to the success of Things That Lovers Do, another album of duets with her husband Kenny Lattimore. The duo bested the previous effort with a double-CD of gospel and R&B love songs entitled Uncovered/Covered. The set was lead off by dual singles, the slick Bryan Michael Cox produced "Figure It Out", and "Make Me Like The Moon", a stirring gospel ballad co-written by Kenny and Chanté and produced by Fred Hammond. Uncovered/Covered was released October 10, 2006 on LaFace/Verity/Zomba Music Group.³

Current Activities

During the recording of her duet album with Lattimore, she signed a new solo recording contract with Peak Records, a subsidiary of Concord Music Group.⁴

In 2007, Moore starred in the stageplay By Any Means Necessary, along with Dave Hollister, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Shar Jackson, and Danielle Mone Truitt.

Chanté released her fifth solo album Love The Woman on June 17, 2008.⁵⁶ The album's lead single "Ain't Supposed To Be This Way" impacted radio on May 12, 2008.⁷

In 2009, Chanté set some dates for a Love The Woman tour, with performances in Los Angeles, CA and Atlanta, GA.

Additionally, she starred with James Pickens, Jr. (of Gray's Anatomy), Vickie Winans, Loretta Devine, Reginald VelJohnson, Rocky Carroll and husband Kenny Lattimore in a live stage production of Otis Sallid's Gospel! Gospel! Gospel at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in May 2009.⁸
