Chanté Moore is known as an American R&B singer. She is most famous for her songs Love's Taken Over, Chante's Got a Man, and It's Alright.
Chanté Torrane Moore was born on February 17, 1967, in San Francisco, California. Chanté was raised as a Christian Evangelist and grew up singing in the church.
Chanté had success outside of the music industry as well. Chanté published an autobiographical self-help book in 2014 titled “Will I Marry Me?” It was in this book that she made public that her first marriage was to a childhood friend whom she had dated in the sixth grade. She also stated that she had her first kiss at the age of thirteen. An adaptation of this book was produced as a one-woman show by Cheryl Cobb Debrosse, Chanté’s manager, in 2015
In 1996, Chanté had a daughter named Sophia Hardison with Kadeem Hardison. They had secretly married in 1997 but were divorced in 2000.
On New Year's Day in 2002, Chanté married singer Kenny Lattimore in a private ceremony held in Jamaica. Their son, Kenny Jr. was born on April 10, 2003. In a July 27, 2011 statement on her Facebook page, Chanté announced that she and Kenny Lattimore had been divorced.
Chanté said that her separation and subsequent divorce from Kenny was due to his overt sexuality. She said that she was uncomfortable talking about the specifics of their relationship. Chanté said that she did not want to talk about him because of their ongoing custody battle. She said that she had expressed things about their relationship in her album, “Moore is More’” and said that she was more comfortable singing about her feelings then she was talking about them.

Chanté was both a beauty pageant contestant and model before being discovered, at the age of twenty-two, by MCA Records executive Louil Silas.
Chanté’s music is heavily influenced by the works of George Duke and Lee Ritenour. Chanté’s debut album ‘Precious’ was released in 1992. ”Precious” was a hit both commercially and with the critics and its release established Moore as an R&B artist. The album was certified gold and spawned the hits ‘Love’s Taken Over’ and ‘It’s Alright. For her work, Chanté received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist of 1992. “A Love Supreme” came out in 1994 but, unfortunately, to fewer accolades. Chanté released her third album, “This Moment is Mine” in 1999. Her third album included her first Top 10 appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 with the song ‘Chanté’s Got a Man’. ‘Chanté’s Got a Man’ reached the number two position on the R&B Chart and became her signature hit song.
Chanté has followed up her earlier success with the release of three more solo studio albums. “Exposed” in 2000, “Love the Woman” in 2008, and “More is More” in 2013. Chanté also released two collaborative albums with the singer Kenny Lattimore. These records were titled “Things That Lover’s Do”, which was released in 2003, and “Uncovered/Covered, released in 2006.
In 2002, Chanté won Soul Train Music Awards Best R&B/Soul Single with the song ‘Contagious’. She also won the heart of her fans with R&B love songs and a double-CD of gospel music.
Chanté was awarded the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Soundtrack Album in 1996. Chanté’s first Grammy Award also came in 1996 and it was for album of the year.
