Rogelio has received multiple BMI awards and was recognized in 2012 and 2013 by Billboard as the editor of the year in the United States. He also has multiple Grammy nominations. Among his greatest skills are his vocal abilities and his proficiency in various instruments, including guitar, keyboard, violin, and bass. He also masters multiple music editing programs, knowledge that he applies to his productions. He is a versatile author, with recordings in genres such as grupero, vallenato, banda duranguense, pop, cumbia, norteño, traditional norteño, sierreño, salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and tropical.

His dream is to leave a legacy with his songs for posterity, as he has spent nearly 30 years writing music. Rogelio is not yet satisfied and knows that the best is yet to come. His greatest advice for those who want to succeed as songwriters is to keep writing and fighting for their dreams. It is essential to prepare musically, culturally, and technologically, and never blame anyone for your failures. Instead, overcome them and show everyone what you are truly worth.
