About John Kaywell:

John Kaywell enjoyed a long and prosperous career in the financial industry before returning to his career in the arts in 2009. Although John Kaywell likes to dabble in the culinary arts, his artistic expertise lies principally in the areas of visual art and music. Well received by connoisseurs and collectors in his local area and beyond, John Kaywell has sold paintings to art appreciators in Palm Beach, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Boston, and elsewhere.

John Kaywell often paints scenes of a tropical or ocean environment with a style all his own. Some of his previous works are titled “Frisbee,” “Greens,” “Jake in Bamboo,” “Sailfish,” and “Sailing.” An artistic complement to his painting, John Kaywell is also actively involved in the world of professional music. Trained at the Berklee College of Music in Arranging and Composition and in guitar by the revered Ted Greene, John Kaywell began his musical career in the 1970s when he played in his own band called the Kaywell Bros. Band.

After playing in the band on the East Coast until 1978, John Kaywell and his band mates moved to Los Angeles where they continued playing until 1981. Around the same time, John Kaywell also played with the band Mr. Mister, a hit band best known for their chart-topping single, “Broken Wings.” After leaving his career at Smith Barney, John Kaywell returned to his career in songwriting, singing, and guitar playing with his debut as a solo artist.

During his time in the financial industry, John Kaywell had collaborated with his brother on an album of spiritual music called “Above the Clouds,” and in their upcoming rock album “The Kaywells…Fathers and Brothers,” the duo pair up again with their own music, lyrics, and strong vocals. A regular performer at 264 The Grill in Palm Beach, John Kaywell also plays guitar music as a form of charitable giving at his local hospital.
