The first that comes to MY mind would probably be Colin Powell, warrior leader, scholar, statesman, crazy smart and very entertaining to watch speak. Don’t know about music tastes though. I’m sure if you look around there is something.
There are several in surprising places, but if those seven are make or break critera to you then you may want to start with the hardest to fullfill and work through the rest. For the best with those you are probably talking about a General or politician like John McCain though he’s not really mild mannered he is a very diverse person and very interesting.
Hope that helps
That should narrow down the list a bit.
