The daughter of a jazz musician who hails from Chicago was raised on the
sounds of jazz and soul legends Sarah Vaughn, Chaka Khan, Marin Gaye, Al Green and
Anita Baker. Also, a Prince devotee, Chantay possess a range and power that accentuates
her vocal versatility. Like so many professional singers, she got her start in the church
choir.
Chantay soon got bit by the performance bug in the secular arena and
entered an open mic contest at a local club. Not only did she win eight times in a row,
she parlayed this success into gigs as a session singer and songwriter for artists like CeCe Peniston and Tonya Blount.
It was Chantay's contributions to Peniston's single "We Got
a Love Thang," which she wrote, arranged and sang background on that earned her a deal with RCA Records in 1992, where she went on to release three albums, securing her first
top-twenty single on the R&B charts with "Betcha'll Never Find," followed by a platinum
single via her second album, with her R&B rendition of Gloria Gaynor's disco-anthem "I
Will Survive," including a remix featuring rapper Common that further surged the record.
She returned the favor and appeared on Common's lead single, "Reminding Me of Sef" to
his third album - One Day It'll All Make Sense. On her third and final album with the
label, she wrote and co-produced a bulk on the songs, which also included a lead single
produced and written by Keith Sweat.
Now independent, Chantay continues to collaborated with various artists
and producers from around the world, as well as touring abroad. Her most memorable
performance took place over one weekend in Johannesburg and Bloemfontein, South
Africa, where she co-headlined at the Macufe Festival. She explained, "The love, hospitality and fan reception was unmatched and something I'll never forget."
Currently, Chantay is most excited about her new project, an EP that she
and world-renowned DJ and producer Terry Hunter are hard at work on. "Terry is a
multifaceted producer, our musical tastes across-the-board are very similar. I'm loving
what we've been creating." Chantay describes her new project to be released on her own
label in conjunction with T's Box Records, as a "soul album." I appreciate my
independence and freedom to record whenever and whatever I feel and not be boxed-in
and told what to do and when and where to do it.
