Do you believe you have a shot at stardom?

“Yes, I honestly believe the talent I’ve been blessed with will land me in the right position in due time. But I can’t do it alone. My Builders Music Group family has laid the foundation for me and made it impossible for me to lose. My talent is undeniable, all glory to GOD;I say that with humbleness.
