Does anyone know of any musicians who stepped out of the cookie cutter mold and produced their own style of music and was extremely creative?

George Michael on his 'Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1' album (1990), he stepped away from white soul/RnB style to more light rock.acoustic with a social conscience. The songs are really good and showcase his voice, such as Freedom 90', Praying for Time, Something to Save, Waiting for that Day.
Grace Jones was an artist very ahead of her time. Her 1989 album sounds as if it were made in 5-10 years later.

Elvis revolutionized rock music. Frank Zappa created a bizarre music all his own. Johann Sebastian Bach revolutionized baroque classical music. The Who created a new genre of album (telling a story with an album of songs). Bob Dylan revolutionized counterculture music. Arlo Guthrie merged counterculture and folk music. There are many additional ones, as well. Just look for artists at the beginning of musical genres, and ones at the point where the genres change.

I will say Brian Eno. Check out Music For Airports and other recordings.
He has produced many acts, including Talking Heads and U2. His own recordings are VERY minimalist - background music, "ambient" decades before the name was used.
Something that came to mind in response to your VERY good question! :)

yes, there are a lot of them. Let me start with a woman. How about Madonna. Or for a man, how about Michael Jackson. For a group, how about the B52's.
