I would say focus on & get skilled at mixing before you learn music theory. Music theory can--in theory (no pun intended)--help you create better music by open up your world/toolset to different compositional availabilities you may not have known about before, but I feel like the creation-side of music is more about just making music that's an accurate reflection of how you FEEL.
That being said, you could produce & arrange the most technically impressive, difficult, and advanced song ever (from a music theory standpoint), but if the mix of it sounds like crap, no one's probably going to want to listen. Learning how to create a good, clean, cohesive mix is IMO waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important.
Think about how many GREAT songs you ever heard that--compositionally speaking--were simple, but that you enjoy listening to simply because sonically, they are very well done.
