15 KRT Kartel 4: Why do you think you can succeed in a music career? LB - The response I get from our audience when we perform. It’s just that feeling you get inside when you know something without doubt. BJ - God gave me a gift and it would be a sin to not use that gift wisely and show my appreciation. I also, without effort, inspire others to believe in them self, so I know I have what it takes. No doubts. My family also has my back.
