Chante Moore was born February 17, 1967, in California. The daughter of a minister, she was influenced early on by her father's piano playing and the gospel music that could be heard throughout the house. It wasn't until the age of 16, however, that Chante (whose name appropriately means "sing" in French) felt the pull to pursue a musical career after appearing in a high-school production of The Wiz.
With contacts from her musician brother, she recorded demos at home and marketed them to major labels. Her hard work paid off and in the late '80s, Moore was signed to Warner Brothers Records. For reasons unknown, she was let go by Warner Bros. after recording songs for a debut album that was never officially released. But MCA recognized Moore's talent and quickly offered her a deal.
Her first album, Precious, was released in 1992 and was a huge success. Songs like "Love's Taken Over" helped her gain fame in the United States and Europe, rare for an artist of her genre.
Her name was already well known when she accepted appearances at the Essence and Soul Train awards and was spotlighted in a first-of-its-kind special on BET. Busy performing at a tribute for Marvin Gaye and the special "Divas Simply Singing," Moore found time amid the fame to release a second album, A Love Supreme, in 1994. Although not marketed like her first, true fans cannot deny the raw emotion and consistency of each track on the album.
In 1996, Chante Moore married actor Kadeem Hardison, with whom she had a daughter named Sophia. Although it would be three years until her next release, she appeared on soundtracks for Waiting To Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and Two Can Play That Game. Singers like Toni Braxton and "The Artist" even came knocking on her door in search of her input and musical prowess.
Moore then became a whirlwind of creativity, releasing two albums in two years: This Moment Is Mine in 1999 and Exposed, the following year. It was with her latest release that Moore received the greatest amount of press, mostly for a music video that featured her nude in bed, seducing the camera. Her image altered somewhat, Moore amicably divorced Hardison in 2000. |
