Chanté Adams BIO

With an award-worthy and captivating lead role performance in the Denzel Washington-directed film A Journal for Jordan (Christmas 2021), Chanté Adams is poised to be Hollywood’s most talked-about star. In 2020, Chanté gave an “extraordinarily fresh performance” (Variety) and was the “best performance in the film” (The Hollywood Reporter) for her captivating portrayal of Christina in Universal’s The Photograph. Her ascension into Hollywood’s A-list actress club started back in 2017 when Chanté was the recipient of the Special Jury Prize for Breakthrough Performance at that year’s Sundance Film Festival. She received that honor for her powerful depiction of 80’s hip-hop pioneer Roxanne Shante in Netflix’s Roxanne, Roxanne. In 2018, Chanté starred opposite John David Washington in the feature film Monsters and Men and was also seen in Justin Simien’s Bad Hair. That year, Vanity Fair also included her as one of nine “Stars to Watch” in their September Issue. She is currently in production on the highly anticipated Amazon series A League of Their Own; a re-imagining of the original 1992 film. On stage, Chanté starred in Ruben Santiago-Hudson’s adaptation of August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom at Two River Theatre in 2016.
