Chanté Torrane Moore (born February 17, 1967) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, television personality, and author. The first signee with record executive Louis Silas, Jr.'s Silas Records, she rose to prominence with her debut studio album, Precious (1992). Its first two singles "Love's Taken Over" and "It's Alright" became top 20 hits on the R&B charts, while the album reached Gold status in the United States. In the late 1990s, Moore achieved crossover success with her top ten hit "Chanté's Got a Man," the lead single from her third album This Moment Is Mine (1999), before adopting a new image with hip hop-inflected sounds on Exposed (2000) and its international top 20 hit "Straight Up."

In the mid-2000s, following her departure from Silas Records, Moore released two collaborative albums, Things That Lovers Do (2003) and Uncovered/Covered (2006), with her then-husband Kenny Lattimore. She has since released four further solo albums, Love the Woman (2008), Moore Is More (2013), The Rise of the Phoenix (2017), and Christmas Back to You (2017), to varying commercial success, with "Real One" being her latest top ten hit on the US Adult R&B Songs chart. Aside from her success in music, Moore became a television personality in 2013, being involved in TV One's reality series R&B Divas: Los Angeles for three seasons. In 2014, she released her autobiographical self-help book Will I Marry Me?

Moore has sold more than ten million albums worldwide, and won the 2002 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single – Group, Band or Duo for her work on "Contagious," a Grammy Award-nominated collaboration with The Isley Brothers and R. Kelly. She has also won an American Music Award and has been nominated for two additional Soul Train Awards, three NAACP Image Awards, a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award, and a Stellar Award. Divorced from actor Kadeem Hardison and singer Kenny Lattimore, Moore has been married to former BET executive Stephen G. Hill since 2022.

Chanté Torrane Moore was born on February 17, 1967, in San Francisco, California, to Christian Evangelist parents Larry Moore, a minister, and Virginia Moore. She is the younger sister of LaTendre Moore and Kelvin Gomillion. Initially raised in San Francisco, the family moved to San Diego when Moore was twelve years old. Rooted in gospel music, she grew up singing in church and later joined the choir. Heavily influenced by the music of George Duke and Lee Ritenour, Moore enjoyed singing from an early age, but her ambitions were initially held back by her family, in which all members sang or played instruments or even had careers as professional musicians.

At the age of 14, Moore began participating in beauty pageants. Through her participation in the Miss Bronze America contest, she met Kiki Shepard and her mother, who took her under their wings and persuaded her to pursue a modeling career during her highschool years, though her height prevented Moore from pursuing a career as a professional model later on. It wasn't until a teacher asked her, at the age of 16, to take on the lead role of Dorothy in a college production of the musical The Wiz that her family recognized her singing talent and she felt confident enough to consider a career as a musician. Motivated by her then-boyfriend, she began writing songs and recording demos. Through Darryl Sutton, founder of the gospel/hip-hop label Reap Records, Moore came into contact with talent manager Benny Medina's assistant, who in turn connected her with Medina.

Impressed by her demo, Medina signed Moore to Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19. He enlisted Jay King to work with her and though they recorded an entire album in Sacramento, titled Listen to My Song, for the label, the project was shelved late into the production and Moore was eventually dropped. After a Los Angeles stage production with singer El DeBarge, his manager Fred Moultrie offered Moore to represent her after she had asked him if he could recommend her. With a condensed Listen to My Song serving as her demo, he pitched her to various record labels, including LaFace Records and MCA Records. In February 1991, Moore signed with MCA through executive Louis Silas, Jr.'s newly founded Silas Records, a joint venture with MCA, after A&R director Madeleine Randolph had presented him several demos from her Listen to My Song sessions. Silas Records' first signee, she immediately began recording her solo debut album.

In October 1991, "Candlelight and You," a duet which Moore had recorded with R&B singer Keith Washington for her debut was placed on the MCA-produced soundtrack for the comedy film House Party 2. On September 29, 1992, Silas Records released Moore's debut album, Precious. The album featured production from Simon Law, Bebe Winans, George Duke, among others, and peaked at number one-hundred and one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. The first single, "Love's Taken Over" peaked at number eighty-six and number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles charts, respectively. The album's second single, It's Alright failed to make impact on the Billboard Hot 100, however, peaking at number thirteen on the R&B charts. More singles from Precious were released in 1993, including "As If We Never Met" and "Who Do I Turn To?". The album was certified gold by the RIAA on November 14, 1994.

On November 15, 1994, Moore released her second album A Love Supreme which peaked at sixty-four on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Moore was one of the co-executive producers of the album and co-wrote eight of its songs, along with Fred Moultrie. The album's first single, "Old School Lovin'", peaked at number nineteen on the R&B chart, marking her third top 20 R&B song. Three more songs were released from the album: "This Time" (1994), "I'm What You Need" (1995) and "Free/Sail On" (1995). In 1995, Moore appeared on the soundtrack to the hit film Waiting to Exhale and featured on five tracks, performing a solo on "Wey U," and adding backing vocals on the hit single, "Count On Me."
