MoA (Johanna Söderberg?)
In the early 2010s, an anonymous K-Pop artist calling herself MoA (Melody of Angel) uploaded several covers to her YouTube channel and soon gained a substantial following. Eventually, she posted a video where she appeared in person and was identified by fans as Johanna Söderberg of First Aid Kit. Shortly after this, MoA deleted her channel, never to be heard from again. Johanna has, however, never confirmed that she was MoA.
