I believe it is not enough to have an interest and set goals concerning something. One must make conscious and deliberate efforts to know and keep knowing about that thing. There is more to music than just singing and listening. There are technicalities such as music theory involved, processes to follow, laws and rules to abide by, ingredients needed to produce the perfect song.

You should get yourself familiar with the music studio environment with a high level of consistency so that you know and are familiar with what goes on there. If you are not able to readily locate a music studio, you can improvise and build a makeshift one, get a few major equipment that you can work with so that you know the things that are done and how to use such things to achieve the best production. It is said that seeing something over and over again goes a long way in helping our understanding of that thing than just having an abstract knowledge of such a thing.

You should learn how to work on song arrangements and lyrics, selecting session musicians; bringing out the best in such musicians, learn to gather musical ideas for any musical project, learn to oversee and handle sound recording of various musicians, etc. It is however important to note that all of these completely surpass the theoretical aspect. These things should entail optimum practicality which would not be achieved if you are not consistent with a music studio environment.
