Meet Jules Kain

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jules Kain and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jules, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
One of the things I care about most is making Gospel music more accessible while also helping preserve it for future generations.

A lot of people don’t realize how much Gospel music has influenced modern music as a whole, yet many traditional Gospel songs, arrangements, and playing styles are becoming increasingly difficult to find and learn. Many churches no longer have experienced musicians available to mentor younger players, and some songs that meant a great deal to previous generations risk being forgotten over time.

Through Jules Kain Music, I create Gospel piano tutorials, sheet music, MIDI files, chord charts, and educational resources that help musicians learn authentic Gospel music regardless of where they live or whether they have access to formal instruction. I’ve had the privilege of connecting with musicians from around the world who simply wanted to learn the music they grew up hearing in church but didn’t know where to start.
I also care deeply about preserving Gospel songs and traditions that may not be mainstream but still mean a great deal to people. Some of the most meaningful music isn’t necessarily the most popular. There are countless songs that have impacted families, congregations, and communities for decades, and I believe those songs deserve to be documented, taught, and passed on as well.

Beyond the music itself, I hope the work encourages people. Gospel music has always carried messages of faith, hope, perseverance, love, and community. If I can help someone grow as a musician while also connecting them with music that inspires and uplifts them, then I feel like I’ve accomplished something meaningful.

What should our readers know about your business?
Jules Kain Music was built around a simple idea: making authentic Gospel music more accessible to people who want to learn it.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that many musicians can find resources for popular genres, but when it comes to traditional and contemporary Gospel music, especially some of the classic songs that shaped churches and communities, quality learning materials can be difficult to find. I wanted to help bridge that gap by creating Gospel piano tutorials, sheet music, choir parts, MIDI files, chord charts, and custom music transcriptions that make this music easier to learn and preserve for future generations.

What sets Jules Kain Music apart is a commitment to accuracy and authenticity. My goal has never been to create simplified versions of songs just to make them easier. I want people to learn the music the way it was actually played and arranged while still making the learning process approachable. Whether someone is a beginner pianist, a choir director, a minister of music, or an experienced musician, I want them to have resources they can trust.
One thing I’m especially proud of is helping people learn music that is meaningful to them, even if it isn’t the most popular song online. Some of the most rewarding messages I receive come from musicians who have been searching for years for a particular Gospel song that reminds them of their church, a loved one, or an important season in their life. Being able to help preserve those musical memories is incredibly fulfilling.

The journey has certainly had challenges. As demand has grown, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that passion alone isn’t enough. Building a sustainable business requires systems, consistency, customer service, delegation, and a willingness to continue learning. I’ve learned that growth often comes from solving problems and serving people well rather than chasing trends.

What I hope people know about Jules Kain Music is that it is about more than sheet music or tutorials. It is about preserving an important musical tradition, helping musicians grow in confidence, and making Gospel music education accessible to people around the world. Every tutorial, transcription, lesson, and resource is created with the goal of helping someone connect more deeply with the music they love.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m definitely not the best person to ask about nightlife because I’ve always preferred nature, quiet places, good food, and spending time with people over crowded clubs and sitting in traffic.

If a friend came to visit, one of the first places I’d take them would be Malibu. I love Zuma Beach and Point Dume. If you’ve never been there on a clear day, and the sunsets are amazing! it’s hard to explain just how beautiful it is. It’s one of my favorite places to slow down, think, and recharge and pray.

For food, I’d definitely stop at D’Amore’s Famous Pizza. I’ve gotten to know the owner, Joe D’Amore, He’s a great guy, a Christian family man, He lost his home in the Palisades fire but has continued fighting to keep his business going. I always encourage people to support him when they’re in the area. The pizza is excellent, and healthy but even more than that, I like supporting good people.

I’m also a fan of Griffith Observatory and Mount Wilson Observatory. If the weather cooperates, the views are incredible and remind you why so many people love Southern California.

Outside of Los Angeles, I enjoy spending time in Beverly Hills, Orange County, and Palm Springs. Each has its own personality, and sometimes it’s nice just to get away for a day and enjoy a different environment.

If you’re looking for a great workout, my friend Nathan Hemmens owns martial arts schools in Simi Valley and Sylmar. Nathan was also featured by ShoutoutLA, and he’s built something really special. His schools do a great job helping people build confidence, discipline, and character.

As a Gospel musician, one thing I get asked all the time by people visiting Los Angeles is, “Where can I hear real Gospel music?” My answer is always the same: go to church. Some of the best Gospel music in the world is still happening every Sunday.
Churches like West Angeles Church of God in Christ, Faithful Central Bible Church, City of Refuge, all have rich musical traditions and welcoming congregations. If someone wants to experience Gospel music in its natural environment, connected to the faith, culture, and community that gave birth to it, that’s where I would send them.

For me, the best parts of Southern California aren’t necessarily the places that make the tourist brochures. They’re the beaches, the local businesses, the churches, the communities, and the people who make this area feel like home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are several people who deserve recognition in my story because I truly believe no one succeeds alone. First, I would like to honor the late Dr. Henry Jackson, who played a big role in my development as a musician. He was a mentor and friend who encouraged me early on in my career and connected me with numerous churches, and opened doors that allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. Many of the opportunities I received early in my career can be traced back to his belief in me and his willingness to invest in young musicians.

I would also like to recognize my Aunt Glenda Edwards. she was a member of the Henry Jackson Company who recorded Gospel popular albums back in the 70s, she gave me some of my very first public performance opportunities as a child. Those early experiences helped build my confidence and allowed me to develop as a musician long before I ever imagined making a career out of music.

My older brother Jonathan deserves a tremendous amount of credit as well. He was my first piano teacher and introduced me to many of the classic Gospel recordings that shaped my musical foundation. Through him, I was exposed to artists such as The Winans, BeBe & CeCe, John P. Kee, Commissioned, and I learned about many others from my parents generation like Rev. James Cleveland, Water Hawkins, Andrae Crouch and Richard Smallwood, their music continues to influence the way I play, teach, and think about Gospel music today.

I would also like to thank Pastor John Cager, who consistently created opportunities for me by introducing me to pastors and ministry leaders throughout Los Angeles. Those relationships allowed me to serve in churches, gain valuable experience, and continue growing as both a musician and a person.

My featured shoutout, however, goes to Pastor D.K. Redmond. Pastor Redmond has been a source of encouragement and support to me and my family for many years. What I admire most is his commitment to serving people both inside and outside the church. Through his church Sunnyside Baptist Church and his nonprofit The Heart and Soul Center, he has helped create programs and opportunities that positively impact the community through food assistance, education, job readiness training, youth development, and family support services.

In a world where many people talk about helping others, Pastor Redmond and his team are actively doing the work every day. His example reminds me that our gifts are not only meant to help us succeed, but also to serve others. I am grateful for his friendship, leadership, and the impact he continues to make throughout Los Angeles.
When I look back on my journey, I see the fingerprints of mentors, family members, pastors, and community leaders who invested in me long before they had any reason to. I hope that through Jules Kain Music, I can do the same for others and help pass that investment forward.
