Wilkinson was raised in White House, Tennessee and began taking voice lessons at age eight. [2] She started writing songs at age 13 and began learning the keyboard by watching videos on YouTube. [3] Wilkinson also sang in her school's choir before being homeschooled. [4]
Wilkinson met Pebe Sebert, who set up writing sessions between Sebert's daughter, Kesha, and Wilkinson.

He then signed her to Lava Records in January 2015. [3]

[6] After the release, she performed at CMJ in New York as well as at Live in the Vineyard in Napa Valley. Wilkinson cited artists such as Coldplay, Imogen Heap, Sia, and Kate Nash as influences. [4]
In 2016, Wilkinson worked on the single "Renaissance" with DJ Steve James, 17-year producer of Justin Bieber's song "Purpose". The song amassed over 4 million plays on Spotify in a month reaching No. 1 on both Spotify Global Viral 50 & US Viral 50. In addition, the song hit No. 1 on Hype Machine. That same year, her single "DNA" was featured in a trailer for CW's The 100, and the song "Exorcism" was featured on MTV's Teen Wolf.

In November 2017, Wilkinson released the single "Ricochet" with 0E0E Records, debuting under the name 7Chariot. [8] She chose the name 7Chariot from the tarot card of the same name that her grandmother gave a reading for her when she was starting out as a musician.

[10] [11] Wilkinson also featured on the song "Coldest Night" from the Attlas EP Charcoal Halo later that same year. [12]
"Ricochet" and "Danger in Me" were included on the self-titled 7Chariot EP which was released in December 2019, also through 0E0E Records. Wilkinson explained that many of the songs were a sort of therapy that helped her cope with breaking from a major record label and toxic environments. The EP received praise and was called "addictive", "adorable", and "sky-reaching". [13] [14]
Wilkinson featured as vocalist on electronic artist Bakermat's single "Bad Dreams" from his album The Ringmaster in 2020. [15]
