Does anyone here have Musical Experience? (Specifically in "Eurobeat")

Hey everyone. I know this is not a paleo thing, but this is like my only place I can ask this for now.
As some may know, I am an amateur visual artist. However, I have come to accept that I am dissatisfied with myself in this regard, and instead of pointlessly investing in something so stagnant and bound to remain irrelevant, I want to try new things. A new art form- Music.

The forum is filled with people of many talents, and perhaps some would be well versed in digital music production. For someone with very little musical experience, learning all of the richness of Western and contemporary music is quite daunting. But I am very fond of the "Eurobeat" genre. I recently(almost a year) discovered it, and i have become enamored with it.

I would deeply appreciate anyone who knows what the journey is like, what are the best tools, what prerequisites I should learn, and is it even pointful to pursue. You can post here or PM if you wish.
(And even if you just like eurobeat in general, u can pm me I guess if you have some songs u wanna share lol)

My main, final goal in this is to blend Eurobeat with my own knowledge in Middle Eastern and Central Asian musical traditions (nasheed, tarana, zikr, qawali, Balochi, Pashtun, Arab, etc), to create a fusion genre, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Finally, even if ur expertise is not in Eurobeat specifically, but other form of music, I would still be glad to hear your wisdom.
Thanks

No musical experience from me, regrettably, but I did want to chime in and say that I enjoyed your art and was really impressed by how rapidly it developed into a higher phase of quality.  I can't imagine it ever being irrelevant, unless you're using fame or commerial reward as bars to meet.  If so, I'd suggest giving yourself a break and just focus on what it is that gives you the most joy when you create or perform.  You're a dedicated person, so I'm sure you'll continue to improve at whatever you focus on.

No, I understand what you mean and I do have some shred of pride in that. But things just are stagnant right now, and this is the break I wanted to give myself. Im sorry if I gave the wrong idea, I want to assure you all is well as of now  :)
Of course, I do admit I more often than not feel my art will probably get swept under the rug by the Lacerdas and the Wittons of the world, that is something I cannot escape unless I dedicate 100% of my time to my art, but of course I am about to enter university soon, so hobbies will have to take a back seat, and then my job life and other adult responsibilities.
As cynical and superficial as it sounds, I do measure my art's worth by its fame and commercial value, even if I dont want to.

Nonethless, I want to take advantage of this slight departure of my paleoart(i prefer sketching and doodling now, and I also began to draw humans but keep in mind I will try to get some paleo in there if a discovery is cool enough),  to pursue new skills in a subject that has intrigued me for long.

Thanks Totoro :))

Sorry, I can´t be of any help for your request. I used to be a Metal singer in a former life and do weird stuff with my custom made guitar and a little amp, but mixers and displays had never been my cup of tea :-[

I see. But I assume you will be well versed in musical theory/note structure
(i apologize if this is not the correct terminology)  then still? Thanks. :)
