How to avoid double "werden" here?
Are there any workarounds? I would sound rather silly if I said: "Trotzdem bin ich sicher, dass ich ein erfolgreich Superstar werden werde", wouldn't I? It just doesn't feel natural at all, even if you're not a native speaker of German.

The idea is that the subject of the sentence is sure of his imminent success in the world of music, entertainment, etc.

Also, if there are any other mistakes, feel free to correct me, my knowledge of German is very basic and limited to a handful of phrases.

Thanks in advance!

Answer

I am not 100% sure about this but i think the sentence could be something like "Trotzdem bin ich mir sicher, dass ich ein erfolgreicher Superstar werde" It would mean something like I am sure that I become a successful superstar if you literally translate the thing from German. Then again, its quite common to use simple present also for future tenses sometimes. So instead of saying I will become something you can also say I become something I think. I hope this os helpful!

Answer

How about the following :

"Trotzdem bin ich sicher, dass ich ein erfolgreich Superstar sein werde."
