All About Me

Hi, I'm Jon Carroll. For over 30 years I've worked in mental health, supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Along the way, I discovered that creativity can be just as powerful as conversation. That's why I created MindVibesFM—a place where my music, books and ideas come together to encourage hope, curiosity and human connection. Using storytelling, music and AI, I turn thoughts and lived experiences into creative projects that I hope inspire others to think differently, live more mindfully and believe that even small ideas can make a big difference.

I live with bipolar disorder.

For me, bipolar isn't simply a diagnosis—it's a different way of experiencing the world. My mind rarely stands still. It races with ideas, melodies, stories, questions and connections that often arrive all at once. At times, that can feel overwhelming. At other times, it becomes a remarkable source of creativity.

Rather than seeing my bipolar mind as something to fight against, I've learned to understand it, work with it and channel it into something meaningful.

That's where MindVibesFM was born.

I'm not a traditional artist, and I'm not a traditional musician. I think of myself as an Artician—someone who uses creativity and artificial intelligence to translate thoughts, emotions and experiences into something tangible. AI doesn't replace my creativity; it helps me give shape to it. It allows me to turn ideas that once existed only inside my mind into music, books, artwork and stories that can be shared with others.

Everything you'll find here has the same purpose.

To offer hope.

To encourage curiosity.

To challenge the way we think about ourselves and each other.

To remind anyone who is struggling that they are never alone.

Whether it's an album, a book, a video or a conversation, every project is another attempt to transform lived experience into something positive. If my work helps just one person feel understood, inspires a different perspective, or encourages someone to keep moving forward, then every idea, every late night and every creative journey has been worthwhile.

Welcome to MindVibesFM.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm not a professional artist.
I'm not a professional musician.
I'm not a graphic designer, filmmaker or author in the traditional sense either.

Yet I create all of those things.

That's why I invented the word Artician.

An Artician is someone who brings together ideas, technology and creativity to turn thoughts into something real. Using AI as a creative partner—not a replacement for imagination—I transform concepts into music, books, artwork, videos and experiences that can be shared with others.

I don't claim to master every creative discipline. Instead, I use a combination of curiosity, lived experience and modern technology to communicate ideas that would otherwise remain inside my head.

For me, creativity isn't about proving I'm an artist. It's about expressing something meaningful in whatever form best tells the story.

Every project starts with a thought.

Every thought becomes a creation.

Every creation is an opportunity to connect with someone else.

That's what being an Artician means to me.
