He graduated from the Helsinki Pop and Jazz Conservatory at the age of sixteen and was subsequently invited by Jaska Raatikainen to join Children of Bodom, due to their previous keyboardist - Jani Pirisjoki - being fired from the band.
Janne was originally just supposed to play a few shows with Children of Bodom, but they got to like Janne.
Janne has never revealed why this is done, but most think it helps improve his technique somehow.

 Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Kotipelto - Coldness
Wirman is a founding member of what is arguably the most successful melodic death metal band playing right now, as well as one of the most unique-sounding.
And yet, these two musicians, two of my own personal favorites and two who I would argue on an objective basis to the death in favor of, are here on a power metal band that sounds like a knock-off of a power metal band that I never really cared for to begin with.
Likewise, Wirman is an integral member of one of the most distinctive bands playing something called "metal." Yet here, with only a few exceptions, he sounds like every other mediocre power metal keyboardist out there trying to sound like Stratovarius.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
It's power metal with soaring vocals, sometimes chugging guitars (Michael Romeo mostly) and bass (Jari Kainulainen), the solid presence of drums (Mirka Rantanen), and, of course, keyboards (Janne Wirman).
Wirman's shrilly, parpy keyboard solo leads into one of many solos from Romeo.
Wirman plays a keyboard solo that easily could go off on its own chilly, tinkly path, but it gives way to another guitar solo (Romeo again) and then everything is barely reigned back in.

The Children Of Bodom keyboardist Janne Warman has certainly upped the ante for bands playing technical metal music with his solo-albums so far, and there is no letdown on the third one either.
Besides the lightning-fingered band mastermind himself, there are tons of amazing talent on display, delivered both by the permanent band members and an all stars cast of guest personnel.
Janne, you have been a huge inspiration in all of my musical ventures.

 MetalUniverse - Critiques
Formé en 2000 par le désormais célèbre claviériste de Children of Bodom Janne Wirman, Warmen vient d’une dérivation de son propre nom, tout comme l’alias Janne ‘Warman’, sous lequel il a fait sa marque.
L’album Beyond Abilities, paru en 2002 sous Spinerfarm Records, a été arrangé et produit par Janne dans son studio, “Warmen Studio” (maintenant ‘Beyond Abilities’) et mixé et masterisé aux studios Finnvox par les grands Mikko Karmila et Mika Jussila.
Janne Wirman ayant déjà déclaré à plusieurs reprises se foutre éperdument des paroles de chansons, ce choix de déléguer se prouve logique, voir même sage!

The five recorded their first album, self-titled (With Wirman being replaced by Axel Mackenrott soon after the recordings), and, thanks to the quality of the work, it was clear that Masterplan wasn't inferior to Michael Weikath's band.
Masterplan's original keyboardist was Janne Wirman, from Children Of Bodom, who ended up even recording the album.
Janne is a very nice guy and extremely talented, but it wouldn't be nice to force his separation from another band so he could join ours.

 Amazon.com: Accept the Fact: Music: Warmen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Janne Wirman has more chances to show all his potential in his instrumentals, not in full length songs with vocals, so that's the reason why I believe he could have done a lot better (and more!).
Another high point is the seventh song "Lying Delilah", with a crushing and powerful guitar riff, with a heaviness hard to find nowadays, combined with the blasting guitars make a devastating formula out of this slow tempo but very heavy song, with orchestration in the middle.
If you want the best of Janne Wirman, his last two releases "Unknown soldier" and "Beyond abilities" will do it for you...

The successor to 2002's "Waiting for the Dawn" was engineered by Janne Wirman at Beyond Abilities studios and by Tero Kostermaa at High and Loud's ELK-Studios as well as famous Finnvox studios in Helsinki, Finland, while the latter also served as the household location for the mix (by Mikko Karmila) and mastering (by Mika Jussila).
After the surprising split with his long-standing companions of Stratovarius (with whom he is still performing some more European festival shows these coming months), this sophomore record brilliantly shows the vast diversity of his songwriting abilities and vocal skills.
"Coldness" was recorded by Janne Wirman in the Beyond Abilities Studios as well as by Tero Kostermaa in the High and Loud's ELK Studios and the famous Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, where also the mixing (Mikko Karmila) and the mastering (Mika Jussila) was done.

The sound on both demos is (for a demo) quite good, but Inearthed is clearly different to what Children Of Bodom play nowadays.
When Inearthed fired their keyboarder (or he left, I don't know yet...) Janne joined the band.
The first Nuclear Blast Tour (February 1998, together with Hypochrisy, Benediction and Covenant) was successful, however Janne could not tour with them because of his final exams at school.

Putting together an unmatched cast of musicians the KOTIPELTO albums are a testament to the vocalist’s masterful song-writing.
Within Coldness’ tracks can again be found inspired performances by the world’s finest power/progressive musicians - guitar virtuoso Mike Romeo (Symphony X), keyboardist Janne Wirman (Children Of Bodom, Warmen), drummer Mirka Rantanen (Thunderstone, Tunnelvision, Warmen), bassist Jari Kainulainen (Stratovarius), as well as axeman Juhani Malmberg (Tunnelvision) and guest lead guitarist Antti Wirman (Warman, Craydawn).
Like sunshine Wirman’s keyboards break through the unrelenting torrential musical deluge at the end of “Around,” reminiscent of fellow Finn’s Nightwish.
