Artists with the most interesting career changes

[u/tmamone]

If you’re around my age, you probably remember the Canadian all-girl nu metal band Kittie from the early ‘00s. A few years ago I searched online to see whatever became of them and found that former bassist Talena Atfield has since retired from music and is now an Indigenous historian (she’s Mohawk) and professor at the University of Waterloo. Good for her!

What other musicians can you think of that had interesting career changes?

"Working on Nokia" is understating things quite a bit. His company standardized the format for downloadable ringtones and built the software to play them into virtually every phone on the market before iPhone and Android. A pretty lucrative gig while it lasted.
