About Chanté Moore
Chanté Torrane Moore is an American singer-songwriter, television personality, and author. Rising to fame in the early 1990s, Moore established herself as an R&B singer.
Her debut studio album Precious was released in 1992. The album was certified gold by the RIAA on November 14, 1994, in the United States, spawning such R&B hits as "Love's Taken Over" and "It's Alright". Released in 1994, her second album, A Love Supreme, did not achieve the same success as her debut album.
In 1999, her third album, This Moment Is Mine, was released. The album included "Chanté's Got a Man", her first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the R&B chart, which became her signature song and her best charting song to date. She then released three more solo studio albums, Exposed Love the Woman , Moore Is More and two collaborative albums Things That Lovers Do , Uncovered/Covered , both with Kenny Lattimore.
Aside from her success in music, Moore became a television personality in 2013, being involved in TV One's reality series R&B Divas: Los Angeles for three seasons before it was cancelled.
Born to Christian Evangelist parents, Moore grew up singing in the church and was heavily influenced by the music of George Duke and Lee Ritenour. She was a beauty pageant contestant and model when, at age twenty-two, she was discovered by MCA Records executive Louil Silas.
Motivated by her then-boyfriend to approach a professional career in music, Moore was initially signed by talent manager Benny Medina to Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19. While she recorded an album, titled Listen to My Song, for the label, the project was shelved late into the production and Moore was eventually dropped. In February 1991, she signed with MCA Records executive Louis Silas, Jr.'s newly founded Silas Records, a joint venture with MCA, after A&R director Madeleine Randolph had presented him several demos from her Listen to My Song sessions. Silas Records' first signee, she immediately began recording her solo debut album. In October 1991, "Candlelight and You," a duet which Moore had recorded with R&B singer Keith Washington for her debut was placed on the MCA-produced soundtrack for the comedy film House Party 2.
