With her father being a church minister, Chante Moore grew up in an intensely religious, but also musical environment, which actually influenced her career decisions. She is the youngest child of the family, having an older brother Kelvin and sister La Tendre. Chanté started singing in church in her early childhood, and decided to work in music industry while she was still in high school. Meanwhile, Chanté was also concentrated on modelling, taking part in various beauty shows and looking forward to building her career as a singer. Louil Silas, executive of MCA Records, noticed her when she was 22. This was the breakthrough moment for Chanté, as she debuted with her album called Precious in 1992, which not only went gold, but also got to the top 20 on gospel charts in the USA.
During her singing career Chanté has successfully worked on and released a total of eight albums, with the last one showing up in 2013, which was awarded the “best independent R&B release” of that same year. Among her most famous recordings we can find Love’s Taken Over, Chante’s Got a Man and Straight Up. Moore is also the proud winner of eight awards and nominations with the first one taken early in 1992. Competing with Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the single of the year in the Soul Train Music Award nomination is as impressive as it sounds. Not to mention that Moore has twice been nominated for a Grammy. Being so dedicated to the singing industry has definitely paid off for Chanté, as she has accumulated her revenues during her career largely from her singing, as indicated by her current net worth.
The personal life of Chanté Moore has always been a target for gossips. She has bee married twice, with both marriages bringing peak moments to her singing career. While married to her first husband, Kadeem Hardison(1997-2000), Chanté released one of her most successful songs called “Chante’s Got a Man”. She announced her fourth album Exposed in 2000, straight after her divorce from Kadeem. In the year 2002 Chanté married the American R&B singer Kenny Lattimore, another stroke for her career. The album “Things that Lovers Do” which was recorded and released by the famous couple ended up counting more than a million copies sold. This success, however, did not prevent the couple from divorcing later on in 2011. Chanté Moore has two children, a daughter and a son, one from each marriage respectively.
