I am prime, I am composite
Prime as in beginning and composite as $2019 = 3cdot673$
Sum my digits and half; I'll be perfect!
$2 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 12$, then $12/2 = 6$
Don't multiply them, I won't yield a thing
$2 cdot 0 cdot 1 cdot 9 = 0$
But don't worry, it's only the beginning!

Yes, you got it! Prime can also mean importance, and it is so for a new year :)

I'm thinking it might be
39
(3+9)/2=6, a perfect number as its factors sum to the number itself: 1+2+3=6
3 is prime and 9 is composite
Multiplying them won't yield just a thing, it yields 3*9=27 things
I am a bit hung up on this but perhaps 39 is the beginning of a sequence where these rules hold true (i.e., it's the smallest number produced by these rules). Or perhaps it's the first two of this series: 3^1, 3^2, 3^3, ...

I'm thinking it might be
39
(3+9)/2=6, a perfect number as its factors sum to the number itself: 1+2+3=6
3 is prime and 9 is composite
Multiplying them won't yield just a thing, it yields 3*9=27 things
I am a bit hung up on this but perhaps 39 is the beginning of a sequence where these rules hold true (i.e., it's the smallest number produced by these rules). Or perhaps it's the first two of this series: 3^1, 3^2, 3^3, ...
