Do you know of any talented artists like Steve Vai, Imogen Heap etc... that write, play, sing, AND produce?

Question

Multi-Talented artists have always been fascinating to me. I would like to know of and listen to more. Unfortunately, mainstream music doesn't seem to care for the uber-talented and they're hard to find. Any new bands/musicians would be great! Thanks!
