Hi, I like art in general but I have to narrow down what I'll pursue to master/focus on them. After much thought, I think I want to have a career in music and poetry. My intuition says it's the right choice and I got the green light from other spiritual practices I do (tarot reading, etc). I really like music and I like analyzing my favorite songs' compositions (how sounds go so well together). I also would like to explore many musical instruments. I also feel like I'm the type of person who likes variety and music has that. I don't have any background in said field but there are moments when I'd sing in karaoke with my classmates and they'd tell me I have the potential and I'm always in tune. I won't say I'm great but if I'm 100% sure about this, I would train, join music workshops, maybe get a vocal coach someday? and make music. I'm gonna work really hard for it. I guess I just need that one last push. So can someone help me pinpoint any placement/aspect in my chart that indicates musical talent or affinity for music? Thank you.

Your response has been a great help.
And it's alright, I have spent 20 years being passive. I think I'm more than ready to put in the work now that I'm 100% sure that I want this. I dropped "painting" to focus on this too. I won't just work harder but also smarter for quick progress. I also idolize people who started at 21-23 so I think I'm good (If other people can do it, I can too).
As for what I want to do with music, I like synth pop, dream pop, shoegaze and anything that sounds kinda old and ethereal. I don't think I need a voice like Ariana's for that. I wanna be an alternative pop singer tho w/ influences from this genres. I want to find a distinct vocal style that would fit me. I also want to learn how to use the piano, violin, harp, bass guitar, electric guitar, synth pads and other percussion instruments. I would also like to use my vocals as an instrument. Also, not aiming to be Beethoven, I wanna learn enough to incorporate it to my music. After all I think music for me isn't about how hard the skills I've incorporated into it, it's about how intense the emotions it can evoke and how well the elements complement each other producing a sound that can rival the best in the field. Talentwise, I don't think I'm that talented in singing? but that's why I'll get a vocal coach. I think my talents lie more on creative thinking and intuitively sensing sounds that go well with each other but I'm aware that I need to learn more if I wanna be a household name in the future (I hope I don't sound delusional).
I also think we should do what we love. Thank you!

Sorry for sounding too eager haha I will practice and work hard not bc i just want to but bc i also need to. I think I’m talentless atm tbh. I have anhedonia induced by meds. I think this phase ought to teach me the value of hard work and inner power. I realised I can’t rely on inspiration, imagination and inborn talents alone bc I’ll be nothing if they’re taken away from me. I need to compensate for the loss by relearning them and being better than before (acquiring new skills). As for the instruments, I agree there are way too many instruments that I wanna play but I think it comes from a need of experimentation. There’s this singer called Grimes and she experiments a lot, I look up to her. I won’t attempt to learn everything at once, I’ll only learn them when I think I need to. Right now, I think I need to focus on vocals and maybe one stand alone instrument (I have a piano) and prolly read poetry books (it’ll help with lyricism). I also know that I don’t have the luxury of time so I won’t waste any moment and any opportunity to improve. Thank you so much!
