His work has earned him nine Gardel Awards (Argentina's main music awards) and three Latin Grammy Awards, all for Best Recording Package, receiving the award for Mercedes Sosa's Cantora 1 (2009), Vicentico's Solo un Momento (2011) and Juana Molina's Wed 21 (2014). He currently holds the records for most wins and most nominations (seven) in the category. Born in San Miguel de Tucumán in Argentina, he showed interest in music from an early age, later moving to Buenos Aires to study Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires during his early twenties. He was one of the students from the first promotion of his career. During the nineties, Ros worked as an assistant at the studio of Sergio Perez Fernandez, Fito Páez's art director at the time. While working at the studio, he met Daniel Melero, producer for Soda Stéreo, who introduced him to various artists from the Argentine music scene for whom he would design album covers in later years. In 1998, he founded the music collective Agencia de Viajes alongside Pablo Schanton, for DJs, musicians, and assistant directors. Some of his first prominent designs were his album covers for Soda Stéreo's last two studio albums: Dynamo (1992) and Sueño Stereo (1995).
