Chanté Torrance Moore (born February 17, 1967) is an award–winning American R&B and jazz singer, songwriter, and actress.
Born to Christian Evangelist parents, she 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. Moore was signed to Silas' MCA-distributed imprint Silas Records. She had previously been signed to Warner Bros Records by Benny Medina at the age of 19, recording a whole album before being dropped.
Moore made her recording debut on Silas/MCA Records in 1992 with the release of the RIAA-certified Precious featuring the hit singles “Love's Taken Over” (#13 R&B, #86 Hot 100), “It’s Alright” (#13 R&B), "Who Do I Turn To?" (#83 R&B) and "As If We Never Met" (#107 R&B).
Her follow-up album A Love Supreme was released in 1994 and featured the singles as "Old School Lovin'" (#19 R&B), "This Time" (#61 R&B), "I'm What You Need" (#56) and a dual-cover of "Free/Sail On."
In 1999, she released her third album This Moment Is Mine which was led by her biggest single to date, “Chanté’s Got A Man,” written for then-husband Kadeem Hardison. It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (and #2 on R&B) and went gold. It was followed-up by the single "I See You in a Different Light" with JoJo Hailey and included as the theme for the film "For the Love of the Game" starring Kevin Costner.
