How much money do you have to spend on this endeavor? There are free apps that will let you birth music through a painful laborious process, and expensive apps that do most of the setup and just require a creative musician to tell them what to do.
Either way, my first suggestion is Ableton Live. The lite version comes with pretty much every piece of audio hardware ever, so you could probably just talk to a musician you know and get a free copy. It's arranged really intuitively, and makes sequencing and recording ridiculously easy. On top of that it has a pretty impressive effects bank, and of course the ability to use VSTs.
That's another suggestion, is to google around for free VSTs once you've picked a DAW, there are a zillion. They really are instrumental (groan) in coming up with your own unique sound.

...that was an either/or question.
Unless you mean you want to record your own samples and then sequence them?
No clue.
I want to be able to record and sequence.
