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 before it was cancelled.

[1] Moore was a beauty pageant contestant and model when, at age twenty-two, she was discovered by MCA Records executive Louil Silas.

Motivated by her then-boyfriend to approach a professional career in music,[2] Moore was initially signed by talent manager Benny Medina to Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19.

[2] While she recorded an album, titled Listen to My Song,[3] for the label, the project was shelved late into the production and Moore was eventually dropped.

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.

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 was followed-up by the single "I See You in a Different Light" with JoJo Hailey of Jodeci and included as the theme for the film For the Love of the Game starring Kevin Costner.

Following her divorce from Hardison, Moore worked with a different set of collaborators for the more contemporary R&B album Exposed, which followed in 2000 and included the singles "Straight Up" (produced by Jermaine Dupri) and "Bitter" for which the latter's video continued the saga of the R. Kelly and The Isley Brothers "Mr. Big" story.

In 2002, Moore had the distinction of winning a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single for the song "Contagious", featuring The Isley Brothers and R. Kelly.

In fall 2006, Moore issued a follow-up to Things That Lovers Do, another album of duets with her then-husband Kenny Lattimore; a double-CD of gospel and R&B love songs titled Uncovered/Covered.

The set was led off by dual singles, the Bryan-Michael Cox-produced "Figure It Out", and "Make Me Like the Moon", a gospel ballad co-written by Lattimore and Moore and produced by Fred Hammond.

[11] In 2007, Moore starred in the stageplay By Any Means Necessary, along with Dave Hollister, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Shar Jackson, and Danielle Mone Truitt.

Additionally, she starred with James Pickens, Jr. (of Grey's Anatomy), Vickie Winans, Loretta Devine, Reginald VelJohnson, Rocky Carroll and Kenny Lattimore in a live stage production of Otis Sallid's Gospel!

In early 2013, it was also announced that Moore had joined the cast of the reality TV show R&B Divas: Los Angeles with Kelly Price, Dawn Robinson (of En Vogue), Michel'le, Lil' Mo and Claudette Ortiz.

That same year, Moore announced work on a new solo album which would include new material in addition to a few remakes of her songs, due to the experience of her one-woman show.

In February 2017, Moore, along with Carl Anthony Payne II and LisaRaye McCoy, began touring with and co-starring in Je'Caryous Johnson's off-Broadway play Married But Single Too.

[35] Again featuring main production from Lil' Ronnie, the project comprises five original songs and six cover versions of Christmas standards and carols.

[39][40][41] In November 2022, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her debut album Precious (1992), Moore performed a medley, consisting of "Love's Taken Over", "It's Alright" and "Chanté's Got a Man," at the 2022 Soul Train Music Awards,[42] to rave reviews.

In her 2014 autobiographical self-help book, Will I Marry Me?, she publicly revealed this marriage (and subsequent divorce), stating that the two had dated in sixth grade.
