Biography
Born the daughter of a gospel minister, Chante Moore was raised on a solid diet of George Duke and Lee Ritenour. Having been a beauty pageant contestant and model in her younger years, by the age of 22 she had been discovered by MCA Records exec Louil Silas, who subsequently singed her to Silas Records. The singer’s musical debut came singing backup for R&B diva and Moore’s idol Toni Braxton. Moore subsequently featured on El DeBarge’s hit single “You Know What I Like” ahead of releasing her debut album “Precious” in 1992. Whilst the album only reached No. 101 on the Billboard 200, the album’s singles “Love’s Taken Over”, “It’s Alright”, “Who Do I Turn To”, and “As If We Never Met” all charted within the R&B Charts Top 40 significantly raising Moore's profile.
Two years later the singer issued her sophomore album “A Love Supreme” which charted at No. 64 on the Billboard 200. Moore subsequently recorded “Your Home Is in My Heart” with Boyz II Men for the “How Stella Got Her Groove Back" soundtrack, as well as featuring on the American Music Award-winning soundtrack for the 1995 film “Waiting to Exhale”. Following the release of her highest-charting album to date, 1999’s “This Moment Is Mine” Moore was nominated for the Soul Train Music Award for Single of the Year alongside Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Lauryn Hill. Two years later she would win the Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single for her song “Contagious” featuring the Isley Brothers.
The Billboard No. 50 charting album “Exposed” appeared in 2000 after which Moore moved to Arista Records to release a duet album with partner Kenny Lattimore entitled “Things That Lovers Do”. The record proved her most successful to date peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard R&B Charts and spawned the follow-up duet album “Uncovered/Covered” in 2006. A year later the singer performed in the stage production of “By Any Means Necessary”, before signing a new solo contract with Peak Records. Moore’s fifth full-length “Love the Woman” was released in June 2008. Led by the single “Ain’t Supposed to Be This Way”, Moore supported the album with a modest U.S. tour, before returning to musical theatre. Her first album release in five years and noted for its stronger jazz influences, Chante Moore’s sixth studio album “Moore is More” was released in July 2013.
Live reviews
They say most of the greatest singers came from the Church and this award winning jazz singer/songwriter is definitely an example of that. California born Chante Moore is one of many R’n’B princesses and despite all of the new talent that we are now exposed to, she still keeps up with the times and recent collaboration with Luke James certainly validates this. With such a clean and clear voice, Chante Moore has graced many a stage and was incredible at The Jazz Café. The Jazz Café historically lends itself to a relaxed, and intimate audience where audiences can really be present and feel the energy of the performer. Amongst performing some iconic hits like 'Got A Man,' 'It’s Alright' and 'As If We Never Met,' Chante brings audiences on a journey through old R’n’B, Blues, Jazz and more modern pop classics as covers.
The original whistle tone singer never ceases to amaze crowds with her instrumentation, vocal acrobats and passionate band. A performer, who converses with the crowd, gives them some back story on herself and her music.
This beauty both inside and out exudes passion for her craft and is really a wonder to watch!

there is so much good I can say about chante Moore but there is not enough space.I have seen chante Moore 5 times and each and every time is just like the first time and it always gets better.chante Moore is anointed she's the type of singer that can sing a single word and make it sound good in harmony.plus she is also so kind and humble and considerate she will always take time out and find my CDs if I hold them up and wave them even after she's done an entire set! now that's a class act for you.I am looking forward to her performance out here in Sacramento California August first because that's the week of my birthday!# Moore is More.

The show was amazing! It's was Chante Moore and Will Downing who was the headliner. They decided to go back and forth on stage with each performing a couple songs and then switch to the other, that really made it wonderful!!! The venue was Chene Park, love their signature drink a "frozen hurricane", drink two and you'll feel like you've been hit by a hurricane lol. Exceptional night with exceptional artist, I had a blast!!!!

Chante Moore arrived on stage right on TIME! She didn't make us wait hours, and she performed some of her best tunes! She was funny, personable, her voice was absolutely stunning and she looked amazing! I only wish she had added a few more songs to her setlist. It felt a bit short. She should definitely consider adding "Listen to my Song". But all-in-all it was a great show and I look forward to seeing her perform again!

I loved the concert! Chante Moore has a beautiful voice and gave an awesome performance! Please let me know when she comes to my area again! Chante had a great rapport and interacted with her fans during her performance. Also, she signed autographs and took photos with fans, after her show. Can't wait to see her again!!
