After the initial idea for the group was suggested by A.Tee, they decided to move to Jakarta and bought a small apartment as their headquarters.
Whilst searching for a music label, 7icons hired a personal dance coach and took vocal lessons, all of which were self-financed.
7icons officially debuted with their first single "Playboy" on 18 April 2011 in music show "Derings" on Trans TV.
7icons also starred in their own teen drama series Go Go Girls on Trans TV, with "Playboy" as its opening and closing theme.
The single was well received, reaching number two on the national music chart in its first week, and then became a TVC jingle in their first TV commercial with Telkom Indonesia.
7icons was the only female group who performed at the concert Road to 2011 Southeast Asian Games, held in Borobudur.
To close the year, the group released The Journey of Love, the first full album from an Indonesian girl band, on 21 December 2011.
[3][4] The group begin an audition in February for a new member and T-Sha was later selected to replace Vanila.
In a "Suka Suka Uya" (a talk show on the MNCTV channel) interview with Uya Kuya, Pj (Cute Icon) revealed 7icons's term "Captain Class", their term for the leader of the group; PJ is the Captain in 7icons.
Following issues with Keci Music in early 2014, 7icons decided to left the label and started working self-managed.
Former members Grace Fransin (Gc) and Natalia Shasanti (Natly), along with Instagram celebrity Marisha Chacha, formed a creative pop girlband, Icons.
Former member A.Tee won't be coming back due to her contract with another label, while Linzy is now married and Natly wears hijab.
