During a decades-spanning career beginning during the tail end of the New Jack Swing era, sophisticated vocalist Chanté Moore placed over a dozen songs on Billboard’s R&B Chart. The daughter of a minister, Moore grew up on gospel music and albums by George Duke and Lee Ritenour, and sometimes applied her lyrics to their music. Moore decided as a teenager, she wanted to become a singer after an inspirational performance in a high-school rendition of “The Wiz”.
At the age of 22, producer and executive Louis Silas Jr. discovered Chanté, and signed her to Silas Records, his MCA subsidiary. In 1992, El DeBarge featured Chanté on the Top 15 R&B single “You Know What I Like”. She also released “Precious”, her debut album. Propelled by the singles “Love’s Taken Over” and “It’s Alright”, the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified “Precious” gold. Three more albums for Silas/MCA, all of which either dented or flirted with the Top Ten of the R&B Albums Chart, followed through 2000.
Chanté also found success by collaborating with The Isley Brothers on the 2001 single “Contagious” a Top 5 R&B and Top 20 Pop charting hit. This contagious track was nominated for a Grammy during the 44th award show in the category of Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Moore recorded a pair of albums 2003’s “Things That Lovers Do” and 2006’s “Uncovered/Covered” with her then husband, Kenny Lattimore. She followed those releases in 2008 with “Love The Woman”, issued on the Peak Label. Moore signed with the Shanachie Label 2013 and released the album “Moore Is More”. Around the same time, she appeared in TV One’s R&B Divas spin-off R&B Divas LA. In 2017 Chanté released “Rise Of The Phoenix”, as well as the holiday album “Christmas Back to You”.(opens in a new tab)
