Not really. Depending on exactly what kind of "good status" you are referring to, you may be able to say something like "I am well respected", for example. However, such a direct claim may seem immodest, depending on context.

Yes, that's possible. "bestowed" is a formal-sounding word, mostly confined to written English. It is not used much in conversation.

If you are referring to the British singer, the spelling is "Adele".

You mean "compliment" not "

I am not sure exactly what you mean by that. "encouragement" can hardly give someone a "status". You can say, for example:

People encouraged him to pursue a career in music.
People encouraged him to be a professional singer.

I mean when people admire him playing guitar and singing, he will find a musical status in that small society and gradually he will be known as a famous music player for example.
It is people who will give him this status.

You can say, for example, "He built up a reputation locally as an accomplished musician, and then went on to find wider fame".

You can choose another word instead of "accomplished", or just omit it, as you wish.
