Career

Dirty Little Rabbits

Pfaff has been a lifelong friend of Slipknot bandmate Sid Wilson, who introduced him to Shawn Crahan in 2007. The two quickly hit it off where they formed a band together called Dirty Little Rabbits where he was the band's pianist.[2] The band released two extended play's Breeding (2007) and Simon (2009) before releasing their debut and only eponymous album in 2010, before splitting up in 2012.[3]

Slipknot

Following the dismissal of longtime Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn in March 2019 due to him filing a lawsuit against the band, Pfaff was quickly contacted by Crahan while working on his day job about potentially replacing Fehn, which he accepted. He took over percussion duties, joining the band shortly before the filming of the music video for "Unsainted", the lead single off of their sixth studio album We Are Not Your Kind, released on 9 August 2019.[4] Due to the appearance of his mask resembling a tortilla, Pfaff was quickly nicknamed "Tortilla Man" by fans and was known primarily by this title until the band finally revealed his identity in March 2022.[5] Initially brought in as a touring member, Pfaff became an official full-time member of the band when they all went into the studio to record the seventh studio album The End, So Far.[6] Pfaff sustained an ankle injury while performing on the band's 2022 European Tour.[7]

Personal life

Pfaff attended university in Boston, Massachusetts and received a degree in music. He also has a wife and they both have one child together.[2]

Pfaff has accepted the nickname Tortilla Man as of 2022 via his personal Instagram account name “tortillapfaff”.
