Sepúlveda grew up in Brooklyn and the Bronx, where his father, Ramon Sepúlveda, sang boleros with his group Trio Los Romanticos. Whe he was a teenager, his family moved to Puerto Rico, where Sepúlveda sang with local groups in Mayaguez, including Orquestra La Justicia & Orquestra La Dictadora with Frankie Ruiz.

In 1977 he returned to New York and recorded with Orquestra Sociedad 76 with Johnny Zamot and was part of that band for four years and recorded three albums. In early 1983 he worked with Adalberto Santiago. He left music from 1984 until the middle of 1988, when he and Zamot formed the group Johnny & Ray. Their first album, Salsa Con Clase, featured the hit singles "Mascarada" and "Margarita". The second Johnny & Ray album included the hit single "Bandolera".
