Maybe. I take it to mean that's where the singer's creativity opens up. When alone in a small, private space, the singer's creative juices flow.

It baffled me at first reading.

(I'm still scratching my head.)

I've never used it but I have heard it. It's another example of a noun being turned into a verb. Originally, you might have seen something like "For me, small environments have a really good vibe". Now "I vibe off ..." means that "XXX gives me a good feeling" - context would make it clear what the person means by that. In this case, I agree that it means the speaker finds that small environments inspire them or make them feel particularly creative.

I'd never seen it before you quoted it here.

The British satrical magazine Private Eye has a column called Pseuds Corner that reprints pretentious comments like that.

It's not a standard expression, but the meaning is clear enough to me.
