7And One began in 1989 when Steve Naghavi and Chris Ruiz met at a Berlin club. They decided to follow in the footsteps of Music/DepecheMode by using two keyboards and a beatbox. Naghavi has also cited Music/NineInchNails and Music/{{Kraftwerk}} as early influences, which reflect on their musical style. They tend to sing in both German and English, luckily lead singer Naghavi pulls both languages off well.

26!!Tropes:
27
28%%* AgonyOfTheFeet: The song "When the Feet Hurt".
29* AlbumTitleDrop: ''Tanzomat'''s title drop is during the track "Zerstorer".
30%%* DaysOfTheWeekSong: "Wild Pain" does this.
31%%* EuroPop
32* ExhortTheDiscJockeySong: "S.T.O.P. Was an Inside Job" contains the line "''If they don't play And One in your disco / We'll kill the DJ if you want.''"
33* {{Industrial}}: More specifically, EBM on their first four albums, then Futurepop from [[NewSoundAlbum ''Nordhausen'']] onwards.
34* IntercourseWithYou: "Wet Spot", as you might imagine, is one of their more sexual songs. "Technoman", "Sex Drive", and "So Klingt Liebe" also count.
35* NewSoundAlbum: Most obviously ''Nordhausen'', where they went from a relatively straighforward EBM group with some symphonic influences to a SynthPop and {{Trance}}-influenced Futurepop band- though they kept the symphonic influences.
36%%* OdeToIntoxication: "Body Nerv".
37%%* OdeToSobriety: "Don't Need the Drugs".
38%%* PepTalkSong: "Shining Star".
39%%* SiameseTwinSongs: "Sex Drive" into "Playing Dead" on ''Tanzomat''.
40* SingerNameDrop: Most obviously on the track "And One", but also in the previously mentioned "S.T.O.P. Was an Inside Job" and "Technoman", as well as "One And".
41* SingleStanzaSong: "And One", where the lyrics are just "and one" over and over. If it had been on a self-titled album it would have been perfect.
42* SharpDressedMan: Naghavi usually performs in a suit and tie.
43* StealthParody: The ''Tanzomat'' album is one for the SynthPop genre.
44* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Joke Jay sings on the track "Fehrnsehapparat".
45%%* SynthPop
46* UnexpectedGenreChange:
