Courtney Love
She was in a Cocteau Twins type of band and then went from punk/riot grrl/grunge to pop punk/soft rock and then the rest is a mess tbqh
Any others?
Haruomi Hosono (folk rock to jazz fusion to tropicalia to Yellow Magic Orchestra).
David Tibet I guess, from the pillars of industrial to neofolk is a great path.
Douglas P. Anarcho-punk to post-punk to neofolk.
Let's go on.

Tay but she's already popular when the transition happened
Ninja from Die Antwoord, in his younger years, oversaw a 3hr long high concept scifi album, ranging from hip hop to country to IDM to ambient.
