Chanté Moore

Chanté Torrane Moore (born February 17, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, television personality, and author. The first signee with record executive Louis Silas, Jr.'s Silas Records, she rose to prominence with her debut studio album, Precious (1992). Its first two singles "Love's Taken Over" and "It's Alright" became top 20 hits on the R&B charts, while the album reached Gold status in the United States. In the late 1990s, Moore achieved crossover success with her top ten hit "Chanté's Got a Man," the lead single from her third album This Moment Is Mine (1999), before adopting a new image with hip hop-inflected sounds on Exposed (2000) and its international top 20 hit "Straight Up."

In the mid-2000s, following her departure from Silas Records, Moore released two collaborative albums, Things That Lovers Do (2003) and Uncovered/Covered (2006), with her then-husband Kenny Lattimore. She has since released four further solo albums, Love the Woman (2008), Moore Is More (2013), The Rise of the Phoenix (2017), and Christmas Back to You (2017), to varying commercial success, with "Real One" being her latest top ten hit on the US Adult R&B Songs chart. 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. In 2014, she released her autobiographical self-help book Will I Marry Me?

Moore has sold more than ten million albums worldwide, and won the 2002 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single – Group, Band or Duo for her work on "Contagious," a Grammy Award-nominated collaboration with The Isley Brothers and R. Kelly. She has also won an American Music Award and has been nominated for two additional Soul Train Awards, three NAACP Image Awards, a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award, and a Stellar Award. Divorced from actor Kadeem Hardison and singer Kenny Lattimore, Moore has been married to former BET executive Stephen G. Hill since 2022.
